Suggestions on Linux distro. for USB drives?

Gundamdriver

Hi. I have got a 4 GB USB drive for some time, I use it to store my files, school assignments..etc. Now I find that I have about 3 GB of space not being used (wasted), and I want to install Linux on the USB drive and boot from it.

I have visited DSL, KNOPPIX and Debian Live Project, these are attractive, but I have a question... Since I still want to use my USB drive to store my files, is it possible to partition the USB drive into 2 paritions (1 GB + 3 GB), 1 GB for Linux and 3 GB to store my files? Does the distro. mentioned above allow me to do this? Or I need to do some hacking on configuration files?

Thanks for reading.

1) 我把opensuse 裝到P4 2.8 HDD
2)再copy -ax * /mnt/usb抄到USB把指
3) vi /mnt/usb/etc/fsatb
把/dev/sdb1改成LABEL或UUID mount ROOT
4) 用opensuse dvd裝機碟，裝個grub  bootloader到USB手指。

完成
