We were expecting eye gouging and body slams, but this review of several thumb drive Linux distributions will do. They compared Damn small Linux, Puppy Linux, Xubuntu, and Fedora. They don’t mention why they chose these four specifically, as UNetbootin has lots of many distributions available. They put each through its paces, providing common issues and boot up speed.

Their conclusion was that puppy Linux was more effective as it has a graphically great interface and the ability to have persistent data storage on the disk. They have a poll going though, so head over and voice your opinion.
