6 Linux Distros You Can Run Off Your Keychain

| 1. DSL (Damn Small Linux): As the name 
| suggests, this is one compact operating system. 
| Debian-based DSL requires only 50 MB of 
| available storage space yet still includes an 
| image viewer, a web browser, a text editor, an 
| MP3 player, an email client, a PDF reader, and 
| more. You can actually run it off a 64 MB USB 
| drive (but you wonât have much room for 
| storage). Now that is damn small!

A great way to install Ubuntu (and other distros)

| Head on over to http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

| I highly recommend using either of these 2 
| applications to install linux, or to have a 
| portable OS in your pocket. Plus it's a few 
| less CD's in our landfills, which is always a 
| good thing.

Linux Live USBAcer Aspire Media

| It is pretty common these days for laptops,
| and even desktops, to be able to boot from a
| USB flash memory drive. So you can save a
| little time and a little money by converting
| various Linux distributions ISO images to
| bootable USB devices, rather than burning them
| to CD/DVD. Oh, and one other reason - it is
| getting more common, especially with pre-
| releases, for the Live image to be too large
| to fit on a CD so it requires a DVD, and I
| don't keep blank DVD media as close at hand as
| CD.
