Linux run from a USB Stick - Alternative to Puppy Linux

I'm thinking Mint as well. Mint by default is meant to run live but without persistence, I believe. Should not be a major modification to add that, I would think.

Dang was really hoping Cat Linux existed.

If you're aim is as light as possible, Slitaz is only about 48MB. However, a live disk of a normal distribution with persistent storage would be just as, or more effective.

Kali is also designed to run from a USB.

@scottalanmiller Are the steps for adding/modding Mint so it can have persistance documented anywhere?

Thanks in advance.

I run LM on a USB and save data to it all the time,.. It runs pretty decently on a few boxes I have, including an on ASUS Netbook.

I recommend tails if you actually want to use the OS rather than just hacking things.
