Is a possible to install, erase and install a different op program such open suse, ubuntu or kubuntu, puppy linnux, on a flash drive
Yes. There are specialized distros for that purpose - a regular distro would quickly kill the flash drive with write operations.
Not modern flash. Especially not if connected via USB 2.0. Writing continuously at full USB 2.0 speeds, it will take nearly a decade to wear out a 1G drive that does wear-leveling. I still recommend against swap on flash, and there are a number of things you might want to do to minimize writes (relatime or noatime come to mind), but they tends to have their own disadvantages. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
