I bought a new USB flash drive. It is a 256MB, USB 2.0, cheap (30 CHF) and small one. I wanted to keep my SSH and GnuPG keys on it for security and practical reasons. I also installed a small "liveCD" Linux distribution in order to be able to boot a recovery system on almost every (new) computers.
I tried Damn Small Linux which seems to be quite popular. It is Debian (Knoppix) based and small enough (about 50MB) to stay on every USB flash drive. However, I use Slax, a Slackware based distribution. I installed Slax Popcorn Edition which is about 120MB.
I installed Slax on an ext2 filesystem and make it bootable with extlinux. I created a script to do all the step from downloading to making the flash drive bootable.
