I didn't realize this list had that.

You wouldn't need to buy Puppy, you can download it, (as well as most
distributions)
As for the USB question--hrrm, I think I answered your second post
first---if you can find one at a reasonable price, go for the 8 GB.
Like Windows, Linux gets more bloated all the time. However, a 2GB one
would work for installing puppy or Ubuntu. 4GB is a good compromise.

See my other post--you could actually start the upgrade then leave.

I agree. :) I think if there's anyone else on the list who has used
it, they'd agree as well.
