Is it possible to run Ubuntu Linux from an external Hard Drive?

Q. I've been wanting to play around with Linux and learn how to use it. Is it possible to run / boot it from my external USB hard drive? Is this possible to do safely but still use the hard drive for storage when I'm using Vista?

A. Yes, you can run other OSs from removable media. I have heard of some people running Windows XP from a Compact Flash card. You would need to plug the device in, then reboot. You should see your normal BIOS load screen. Press the Setup function key, then select Boot> Boot device. Select USB External HardDrive or whatever, then reboot again.

If u can answer my question in a video tutorial that would be great, but if u cant/dont want to, u can always just explain it to me with as much detail as possible. Thanks in advanced.
By the way the only web browser I have in Linux mint 7 is Mozilla Firefox.

A. You can't run Grand Chase on Linux. You can only run it on Windows.

What is the best portable Linux for Windows Lover?
Q. I am looking to play around with Linux and I am wonder which one of the portable Linuxes would be the best for someone who is used to Windows.

A. Hii,

You can Use MANDRIVA, it has the almost same features like windows, I mean myself and many of my friend are using it, and we had find it better over other flavours of linux. Like for Instance.. following are the main features, that we have find Mandriva Linux working as Windows :

(i) No need to download additional packages or plugins to play any audio or video files. As you require in other flavours. for instance in fedora and Ubuntu
(ii) If you want to connect your computer with WIFI, internet, then many a times it has seen that Linux flavors create lots of flavours, as required drivers are not shipped with pakages, you need to download from respective linux forums. No such problem arises with Mandriva, it supports all the drivers to connect with internet, broadcom, WIFI, everything.
(iii) Its packages provide web-cam software as well, where you can even click funny photographs with the software.
(iv) INSTALLATION : easy to install, if compared with other Linux flavours, exception : Ubuntu
(v) Desktop features ,GUI, Terminal are very friendly, and can be easily understood by normal users.

NOTE : If you are looking for powerful desktop features, more animations, more powerful animations and appearance than Windows Vista. Namely you want to concentrate more on looks, graphics and animation feature, go for UBUNTU, provided that you are not looking for more features.
