"Mandriva Flash is a 2GB Dane-Elec USB key loaded with Mandriva Linux 2007. It gets points for style: the key is an attractive deep blue surrounded by a sturdy metal fence that leaves room on both ends to attach the key to a lanyard or keychain. The release notes say that the operating system and related files only take up half the space on the USB drive, leaving 1GB for my own files. This little powerhouse packs a lot of punch, once you get it up and running."

That's got to do wonders for the life expectancy of the drive, considering all the write operations that a distro performs during it's normal operation.
AFAIR, Mandriva went the other way, doing what is essentially a livecd image on one partition of the USB stick with another partition providing a user writable area.
