Booting Linux from an external drive with the applications and settings of your choice has never been easier after this week's release of Puppy Linux 3.0. Like Damn Small Linux, Puppy is small enough to fit on a USB thumb drive, and like Knoppix , you can boot it from CD. Puppy can also add your favorite open source applications to the desktop and save multiple user profiles back to your writable CD or thumb drive, too. Let's take a look at how you can take your operating system, apps, data and user settings to go with Puppy Linux.http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/taking-puppy-linux-for-a-walk-307542.php

What do you think on external drive?
Live Boot CD? I don't like the live
versions . . .
I've always been happy with live linux CDs for experimentation or troubleshooting - Knoppix, Puppy, DSL, Ubuntu all give you the opportunity to try Linux. It's also handy to be able to boot from a live CD and then take a look at your hard drive if there have beem problems.
I've not used linux from an external hard drive but I have used it from a USB stick. DSL also gives you the opportunity to boot a linux session from within Windows which is interesting.
