   I would not expect any problems as the only difference is the Speed   
   capabilites. It would jsut boot slower.   
   I have a couple of Boot flaxh drives that I have installed LUNIX for   
   testing on. I had the best luck with Puppy Linux but LINUX is not for   
   me. To many tines you are forces into a convoluted command line   
   proceidure to make somethign work.
