Unlike the other two options, QEMU is able to run from a USB Flash memory drive, making it possible to run a "Portable" Puppy Linux session within another computer. Bear in mind that this implementation can be frustratingly slow to run, even if the host machine has the host accelerator "KQEMU" installed.
