There are some Linux distributions that are tailored to run from USB stick. Here's one example:<br><br><a href="http://www.mandriva.com/en/downloads/2011/">http://www.mandriva.com/en/downloads/2011/</a> <div><br><div><a href="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Installing_Mandriva_Linux#Installation_from_a_USB_stick">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Installing_Mandriva_Linux#Installation_from_a_USB_stick</a> <br>

I would like to have a USB (thumb/flash) drive with a flavor of Linux loaded on it. Seems I am using so many different computers - wife's laptop, daughter's netbook, desktop at the public library, my own decrepit desktop, etc. I have an ASUS portable wireless 4-in-1 router, model WL-330gE that I would be happy to swap. I would also be happy to go out and buy a USB drive for you to use; just tell me which one works best ... I have used SUSE the most over the past five or six years as my desktop (after starting with "Lindows") and also I once tried installing one of the "small" distros on an ancient laptop; I think it was Puppy or D*mn Small Linux. The ASUS unit has only been used once or twice and should be in good shape. Thank you.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
