I use Parted Magic a few times a week. Yes that is very good. As for, say, Ubuntu I suppose it depends on what you want to use it for.

I'm putting ubuntu GNOME on it

If you just what to play around with linux on a usb try puppy out it runs in ram and takes 20-50mb's to run and is instant being run in ram.
