i am new to Linux, i want any type of Linux , i would prefer a non-GNOME based Linux but that is not high in priority, please keep the directions simple and show me where i can download the distro, and include what format is needed to install Linux on my flash drive, thanks

Try Damn Small Linux. Get the live cd then when it boots up you get the fluxbox window manager or Joe's window manager (default). You can go to the menu->system->install to a flash drive
It sends you through a quick quesitonairre and install Damn Small Linux to your flash drive. 10 minutes tops.
Note: your flash drive will need to be at least 48MB for this install to work.

lol i had the same problem see this man: when you boot from the usb flash drive you can work on linux without installing it so you have to install linux so the os be installed on the hard disk so you can save settings and files on your ubuntu

Try Slax, but Puppy works too, Slax have one command installation to Flash drive using either Windows or Linux prep system, I just used it on an SD card. FAT32 I think.

Did you look at Ubuntu Live CD? You don't install it, it just runs. If you're new, you might find it too cumbersome and if you format your drive would have to reinstall whatever you had before and set it up again, for no real reason. It has an option to install it if you wish, so I guess all you need is a CD burner.

try looking at "puppy linux" in a google search. Or go here http://www.zen45800.zen.co.uk/puppy3/page1.htm
My husband has it on his and is very happy about it. Other than that, I don't know much about it.
