I have an old 1gigabite flash drive and I’m wanting to use it to run linux off of. It has plenty of memory on it still and I would like to use it as kind of a portable computer that I can use on different desktops and maybe laptops. I went to download it and found that there are many versions, which one should I use?

I work for a company that does remote connections. We are wanting to put Linux on everyone’s computer for several reasons but we can’t find a software to remotely connect to other computers that have windows. The software we currently use doesn’t support Linux.

I am interested in learning Linux as good as or better than I know windows, reason being, I may have to use my computer for school soon, and REALLY don’t want to wait for vista or depend on having it not crash/freeze in class. I know the basics like duel booting, using a VM, and installing, basic apt-get, but I want to get to know it better.
