Use Knoppix, write to the usb drive for storage. It's safer that way. Else take a look at damnsmalllinux or puppy linux, both of which are easily made to boot off of a usb key. I had no issues using Puppy Linux as a day to day recovery tool. Neither work really well as a full blown distro. I've had good experiences with Knoppix, however YMMV. Personally I think it'd be easier to get those Nazi's to let you install RHEL, since they have to pay for it and have a company behind it and all those other bs reasons corporations do what they do.
