can i install an operating system to a usb drive?
my internal hard drive has recently taken a dump so i have sent it in for a repair, i was wondering if i could temporarily run my computer on a usb flash drive (instead of a internal hard drive) while i wait for my hard drive repair. is this possible?
ubuntu (a linux distro) is the only one that comes to mind. very popular and very powerful. can fit on a cd and be run from it (live cd) without problems. same goes for installing it on a thumb drive, just have to make sure youre computer can boot from a usb flash drive. some bios systems only support hard disk drives (usb or internal) or a disc.

that's the download and how to page for ubuntu. it has a huge community which means TONS of answers to any questions you have. i have a cd and flash drive with it installed for recovery if my windows system crashes, but there's other tools tailored to that.
furthermore, to completely install it on a thumbdrive or external hdd i'd recommend a good size one 4gb+ for the thub drive, just so you can have a persistant system that will save all your settings and whatnot. again, i have that fully installed on a 40gb external hdd that i move from comp to comp for random stuff and have never had a problem.
