After wrestling with installing linux on Eee PC via a USB Linux distribution, I figured that it is a good idea to evaluate the various Linux distributions that work from a USB thumb drive. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), Gary Sims of Linux.com already did it for me. He concludes
Of the two mini distros, I found DSL more useful because of the neater user interface and simpler install process. If you're looking for a complete Linux desktop on a USB flash disk, then Mandriva Flash is the clear winner. But if you don't want to spend money for your operating system, then you should consider Pendrivelinux.

I installed pendrive 2008 to PQI 2 Gb flashdrive and am actually using it to browse and write this comment. It works great although it has a bit of a video lag. I only wish I could find someway to speed this up. It's okey but there's still room for speed improvement. I think it might also be because of the inherent speed of the flashdrive used.
