The Preferred USB bootable GNU/Lunix distro would be Ubuntu. Download the
latest version Jaunty Jackalope, boot the live CD, plug in your USB. Then,
go to System->Administration->USB Startup Disk creator. Select the image of
Jaunty on your hard disk and it automatically creates the USB Startup disk.
