there are several linux builds that you can get on a thumb drive.also if you have a dvd or cd drive you can use both as a way to run mandrake will load off a dvd and setting save to thumbdrive.
geos does also and you can download iso from them

You can use Linux on any type of system. to where windows ask for system specs.. I don't know anything about mac, so i can't tell you there. But from what I've heard, the only OS that you can use on a thumb drive and used on other systems without having problems is Linux
