This list is for operating systems distributions that are specifically designed to boot off a (writable) USB flash drive, often called a USB stick. (This does not include operating system distributions with a simplified "installer" designed to boot from a USB drive, but the full OS is intended to be installed on a hard drive). Tin Hat Linux

The most common method of installing Linux is by booting from a live USB memory stick, which can be created by using a USB image writer application and the ISO image, which can be downloaded from various Linux distribution websites. DVD disks, CD disks, network installations and even other ...

Live backup CDs can create an image of drives, and back up files, without problems due to open files and inconsistent sets. A few additional uses include: installing a Linux distribution to a hard drive; computer forensics
