I am looking for some one to help with the steps of installing Fedora on my USB HD so I can take it from my laptop to my desktop to my work pc. I am new at all of this and just learning, so in simple terms would be the best. I have searched the internet and a lot of the posts were over my head. All my other computers can boot from USB.

Many distros offer a live cd/dvd. You simply boot to the disk and run it from the disk, No need to install anything.You don't need to use an external usb drive that has been installed.

https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ is about as fool proof as it gets. Even I used it.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
