Linux on USB

Hi All, I have a spare desktop computer and monitor sitting in the garage that I want to set up for my 10 year old son, but it doesn't have a hard drive. I'd rather not have to buy another hard drive (even though they are pretty cheap). I've read somewhere that Linux can be run from a USB

I've had the best luck with usb3 drives even if the computer only supports usb2.0. You can just burn a bootable cd/dvd and install it as if it were a hard drive. Keep in mind if you unplug it and plug in other usb devices it's device name may change so your best choice is plug it in the same usb
