 I've been using FaunOS (http://www.faunos.com/) for a couple of months 
now, and my opinion can only be described as excellent. It's a live 
archlinux system focused on booting from detachable usb media, fits in a 
1GB stick, does a wonderful job in hardware detection (I tested it in 3 
different machines), saves all changes back to the usb stick, suspends to 
usb and it's FAAAAAST! Wherever I can't take my arch-laptop, I take my 
usb stick!
