Linux on a Stick

Linux on a stick is Linux installed to a USB flash drive instead of to a hard disk drive. USB 3.0, which is ten times the speed of USB 2.0, makes Linux on a stick fast
Linux on a stick let’s you run your Linux OS and software on any, up-to-date PC that can run Linux — anywhere, anytime — regardless of which operating system is installed on the PC. . . .
. . . As with ???live Linux???, Linux on a stick, does not have to be installed on a hard drive. One can run Linux on a stick without ever using the hard drive. . . .
. . . You can think of your Linux on a stick as a portable Linux computer on a USB stick– and at a cost of only whatever you paid for the USB flash drive . . .
We installed Fedora 20 and PCLinuxOS 2014.05 on 32 GB Kingston, Data Traveler 100, USB 3.0 flash drives. They worked well. And just as fast and just as comfortable as running them from hard drives. And much more comfortable than running them from CD/DVD drives.
High endurance flash drives such as the Kingston DataTraveler Workspace make Linux on a stick better than ever.
