I'm looking to run Linux off of a USB drive (512MB). I would like to have:
-A 2.6.x kernel -Hardware detection so I can use it on any machine -The ability to uninstall whatever came with the distro -GCC readily available -Some space left over so I can actually use it as a USB drive Any suggestions? |

As a follow-up, I finally found a good distro: Debian. It installs easily (through expert mode), is a "full" distro, and has large numbers of packages. A basic dev environment (X11, fuxbox, GCC/G++, and an editor) and Links2 fits very nicely on a 512MB USB key.
Just thought I'd let people know. |
