What is a good Linux distribution for a flash drive?

Q. I want a Linux distribution to install to my 8gb flash drive that is light on system resources. (I will be running it on older computers and speed is a must.)

I don't want something like Puppy Linux because you are always running as root and I'm concerned with security. No DSL either. I have had graphics problems with that one on some of my computers.

All help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

How can I find out what Linux distribution works with what devices?
Q. I have a Laptop with a wireless card that doesn't seem to work with any Linux distribution that I get! It's so annoying!

A. Check out the following weblink:

Research under distribution specs.

Ubuntu 7.04 works pretty well with my WIFI.

Which Linux distribution is the easiest to use?
Q. I want to give Linux a try. Which Linux distribution is the easiest to use and most friendly to novice Linux users? I want something that works with minimal setup, for tasks like surfing the web, email, playing and burning CDs, playing DVDs, etc.

Which one should I get?
Thanks for the info and the link. That website recommend Ubuntu, Mandriva, OpenSuse, and Linux Mint.

A. Take a look at Linux Mint 6 which I can thoroughly recommend and runs pretty much 'out of the box'.

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Brasero/Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 6 can be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
