I see two other possible common factors:

1. They are designed to auto discover/configure their hardware/network
access at every boot.
2. They are designed to run from what is usually thought of as
removable media (this is either a result of or the reason for #1)

Hmm.  Are they "transportable Sugar installations"?  This doesn't mean
they always will be moved from place to place, but
a design requirement is that they can be.
