Urm... Knoppix is Debian's unstable (Sid) version with customized hardware 
detection.  I've never tried to install it.  It makes life very easy when on 
the road or when you need to rescue a file system that your own kernel might 
not hve modules to support.

As for the USB storage device, I have a card/stamp reader that Libranet see's 
just fine.  I think MDK and SUSE also have out of the box support for these 
devices too.  If not, it shouldn't be too hard to google up a quick fix.
