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 exactly pertaining to your statement, but
DSL has version they call "embedded" that comes with Q that can either be usb booted or booted in windows.
rakamaka,
I and some of my colleagues use the dsl embedded when we need to ssh from a windows cluster when there is not a program installed on the cluster to do so, though of course there are other ways to do that.
