Lifehacker reviews some of the popular Linux distributions that have provided tools to make Live USB keys, a easy task. These include Damn Small Linux, Fedora with it's cross platform liveusb-creator , Puppy Linux and Xubuntu. All systems were tested with UNetbootin except for Fedora which was run using it's own liveusb-creator. For every distribution, the minimum requirements, image size, boot time, features, things that need improvement and which users it is recommended for, is listed.

Not much of a real roundup but it is a good overview of some of the distro's available by the unetbootin project. USB boot is great providing support is there in the bios. Shame solaris cant boot this way as well with this project so I can run around with a key chain full of zfs drives although it has got bsd's...
