Hi David, Try puppy! its great, its a dekstop linux with good looking GUI. I have been running off a USB stick for many months now. You would have to get used to rox filer(its a desktop manager like Gnome and others but is very minimal). The right click context menu is very different from ubuntu or windows other full desktops OSes. For example the best way to copy/move a file from one place to the other is by opening the source and target folder in separate windows and just click-dragging the file. It then gives you option of move or copy. Its different from rightclick>copy>paste paradigm :)
Abiword comes bundled with it but I am not happy with it. It does a very poor job of dealing with MSWord files. Its better to separately download Open Office SFS files, which you can search on puppy forums. Besides Open Office you might be interested in installing Pidgin (multiprotocol chat client) and Firefox (of course). Both are available as PET files which just install in seconds. You can find links for these on forums. Like tiddlywiki puppy community at IRC #puppylinux is quite helpful. I think you ought to try the standard version first and later digress to modified ones which are known as Puplets.
