This is really for my own personal use.
The idea is to move all the database object currently on my laptop hard-drive to an external hard-drive connected to my laptop via usb. This will allow me to free space on the laptop.

Is it possible to store the PostgreSQL data (database) on a usb external hard-drive and be able to use this on multiple computers running either Windows or Linux. That is as long as the PostgreSQL is installed on each computer.

While probably possible, this doesn't sound like a very robust solution.  Why not just connect to a single server from the multiple machines?
