How to run Linux from a USB flash drive

Ever wanted to take a bootable OS with you in your pocket? AltHack.com has a cool guide on getting Linux running on a USB flash drive, and it looks remarkably simple. It uses the 50MB distribution Damn Small Linux and in about 10 steps you should be up and running.

I tried this today with a 256 PNY USB stick. It worked correctly and was booted into Linux in under 10 minutes.
I found the story on Lifehacker.com
