USB Running Linux Works on Any Hardware it Boots From?
 

Hi, I wanted to know if I boot Linux from a USB Memory stick installed on my ASUS dual core desktop, will it run on my Asus Eee pc 10 inch laptop?

Looking at Alpine Linux, Fusion Linux, Mint 10 bases on Debian, Fuduntu and Slackware.

I expect I will be able to install to USB and boot from USB at will.

I have made an Ubuntu Netbook USB drive with Universal USB Installer, but never run it, over the passed two weeks, I was under the impression that it would install to a hard drive, but suspect, it is the OS inside, what is the case?

Yes, it will probably work fine. Part of the boot process for most current linux distributions auto-detects hardware and loads the appropriate driver modules. You may run into problems with certain hardware that requires non-free drivers, most notably some wireless cards.

It is in the boot process, thanks.
