Old laptops without hard drives and knoppix

I got a bunch of old laptops with decent specs (2-4GB of memory) but no hard drives. What to do but run knoppix 7.7! I just run the usb installer program and supply a flash drive and presto, I'm booting into a functional system. What could be better...

Also I was able to run ubuntu off an external usb drive by making a flash drive installer with ubuntu's usb-creator-gtk program. That works nicely as well.
