<p>I would *highly* recommend the Lacie Iamakey drive, it is made to last and actually won't break off of a keychain. It is the only drive I have had on my keychain that has lasted more than two weeks. I have had mine for almost a year.</p>
<p>I have the 4 GB version, but they offer them up to 32GB if memory serves me. For a live system I would go at least 8 GB, 1 partition, with a swap file instead of a swap partition.</p>
