I've had good experience with them with PCLinuxOS.  My hardware got
autodetected and everything.  It's been a good experience, but I
suspect just about any distribution these days would work fine with a
flash card.  Pick your preference and work from there..

Filesystem.. I second ext2, although I prefer to include journalling (ext3).

Keep in mind that wherever you go with that flash card would have to
read the filesystem.  It is for this reason that some people pick
fat16/32..

Also remember that OSX can read ext2.  =)
