From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are a range of ways to have multiple distro's on a single USB if they fit, but really, this is something you should just try for yourself. I did the same and ended up trying all sorts. Icurrently have a USB drive with Mint and Puppy. Mint for when I want to have a full distro and Puppy for everything else. Me personally, I find Puppy the simplest , fastest and easiest on any machine without buckefsfull of RAM. It even works on my really old laptop with 1GB.
