I've been using USB quite a lot with Knoppix (a CDROM distro); it works
well.  However, it requires SCSI support.

I use the SanDisk Cruzer with SecureDigital cards.  Works well.

Multi-format readers require a special kernel option to be set:
"Scan for all luns on SCSI devices" or something like that.
In most released distributions, this setting is off.

Other than that, just make sure that the USB device can be read
under Linux - most "disk" systems seem to be.
