you can try ubuntu
it allows you to use live without installation using usb stick.
Debian would be a good choice. It's stable and runs on just about anything.
You will need to know what the CPU in the host system is, and whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Beyond that, very little is required other than a USB drive large enough to hold the live image.
Note that the system must be able to boot from a USB stick, and the BIOS/UEFI must be set to do so. Obvious perhaps, but often overlooked.

As the page says, see the FAQ for information on how to use the images. There are several choices and not all of them may work on any given system.

You can try Ubuntu Desktop ISO for that. The size of Ubuntu desktop ISO is 1.8 GB, You can use 2GB Pendrive for that.
Use rufus to create a bootable pendrive,
Here is the link to download rufus for windows. If you are using Linux then use Etcher for creating Bootable CD.

As several folks have suggested.
Use Ubuntu, as hardware auto sense for driver installation tends to be slightly better in Ubuntu.
If you're use to resolving driver problems by manually installing them on live system, doing this on a Live USB drive install is very different.
Best to start with Ubuntu.

The first paragraph on the Knoppix site starts
AFAICS, Knoppix is the gold standard for live distributions.
KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD, DVD or USB flash drivesso clearly USB booting is available.

I've started a torrent to download 8.2. Have to go out soon, so will get back with my experiences of making a USB later

Hi,
use Rufus to create a bootable usb drive from almost any distro. Just get the iso and create the usb.

Sorry but I did not regard Ubuntu as qualifying as a useful contribution. I researched Rufus and it is not helpful either (windows only).
Etcher is already mentioned which support linux operating system.
Can you please tell on what judgment you have assigned point only for you without any author reply

I already did. Stop whinging - this isn't an "everybody gets a prize" show.
Does Etcher do what the QA asked for? Have you tried it? You didn't even provide a link.

Is there a Linux live usb distro ?
As a linux server admin, I'm using etcher from past 3 years.
question is for linux distro
Not for Rufus and Etcher.
You didn't even provide a link
adding links is helpful for the user if he is not able to find out.
if anybody search for etcher in google, result in first links.
Do you think for these things need to provide links?
everybody gets a prize
how can you say that your's is the perfect answer? did author say your answer is correct? You yourself assigned all the points without going what other people said before you.
There are many people who answered for Question before me and you.

I'm not fighting to get the points. I don't have any issue if points are not assigned to me. I telling about the scene which i have seen here.
The question author has not seen fit to comment, so we have to assume he is satisfied with the answer provided.
