Could I run a Linux Live Trial from a USB stick

Curious if this would work as the PC I'm considering putting Linux on no longer has a CD drive...?

This site seems to have a bunch of tutorials on how to boot into Linux from USB flash drives.

You can install Fedora Core or many other Linux distributions from or to a USB stick with very little hassle.
