    Does anyone know of a good version of Linux to run from a flash drive on a Dell Inspiron 1520? I am trying Gentoo, but I cannot boot into it. I get an error that says something about no screens detected.
    Does anyone know about a good version with a nice gui and good features, but bootable from a flash drive and working with the 1520?
    I'd appreciate it very much.

    Thanks in advance.
