[SATLUG] Fedora Core 6 on Flash Drive

[Johnny V]

Its been a few years since ive seen an installation of any kind of 
linux. So this saturday i was going to head up to the install fest and 
try to have fedora core 6 installed on my laptop. Only thing is I 
noticed yall recommended not dual booting with vista which is what my 
laptop came with. So I was wondering if it would be possible to get 
fedora installed on a flash drive and just boot from it manually 
whenever I needed it.  One concern I had was that if I did that option 
was that I wouldnt have enough space for what I need. I need to have it 
run a webserver with apache/mysql/php for a webpaging course im taking. 
Plus I was told by a couple people that linux on a flash drive is 
worthless...  What do you guys/gals think?
