Linux is a very powerfull Operating System, and USB pen drive now days are very cheap and affordable with bigger size every year.
What you can do with the old USB pen drive which you have since the day 1 you use USB pen drive, let say the 1 GB USB pen drive you have. To small for storing your image and music files right ?
But don't keep your USB pen drive in the store room. You can use your old USB to boot a Linux Operating System. Yes you can even with minimal 1 GB size of USB pen drive.
You can install many Linux Distro, like Ubuntu , Damn small Linux (50Mb ISO) and many others Linux distros you can have.
This time, we use Linux Damn Small Linux distros and install it in USB pen Drive. To install to USB, we can use windows as the host. Download the tools here and get your ISO files from Damn Small Linux website.
The DSL linux version used was DSL-4.4.10 , download around 50Mb to your local drive, then install using the tools to install to USB pen drive.
Then change your booting preference in the BIOS to enable boot to USB pen drive. But you also can boot the DSL in windows, just read the readme file provided after the installation finish.
Here are the screen shoot of the DSL linux Desktop.
