Will the Thinkpad X61 boot from Linux on a USB flash drive (pen drive/thumb drive/key drive). Has anyone done it? Ubuntu?
Thank you!

yes you can load an OS from the USB drive
i have done it with kubuntu before
and by far i think this is one of the easiest and simplest tutorial i have gone through..

this web site has USB linux of many distros...so take ur choice...
also in the boot menu in BIOS, u also need to make the change to boot from usb over there...
[do not forget about that]
cheers..
