Linux on a Stick

This is my first post from within Linux and although my "Month on Linux" has not officially started I have gone about and purchased for $65 a Dick Smith 2Gb USB drive. I am currently trying to install it using: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/12/usb-ubuntu-tutorial-for-linux-users/

I did run but, without getting past the boot loader stage, today DSL at school but I hope by tomorrow that I can run Ubuntu and carry it around as if it were a mini laptop.

I am having to learn what many BASH codes do and things like that at the moment to get this USB drive Linux working.

I'm still hanging out for the 31st when I can get my hands of Fedora 7 and install that on my home system.

So far my experiences with Linux have been great.
