The "versions" are 2.0, 2.1, etc. the distros (distributions) are what you want.
Any distro can be run from a live cd or a usb drive – or even a flash drive. (I carry 2 different distros on flash drives with me – one small and fast, one large and powerful.)
The "best" one? For what? A desktop or a server? Small and fast, or large, with everything? For gaming? Video production?
That’s why there are so many distros (over 300) – everyone who needs something different, for a different purpose, can make his or her own.
ugh get rid of linux i had it it sucks more ass than an ass sucker (i know it makes no sense but whatever) seriously man lose linux
They are not different versions, they are called "distributions". There is only one current version of the Linux kernel.
The beauty of GNU/Linux, being free, is that it costs you nothing to download and burn CDs, to find out the best answer for you for all of your questions.
Try Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora, OpenSUSE, PCLinuxOS, Debian and gOS (the Google OS) to start with.
Look here:

There are hundreds of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
Ubuntu is a decent bet as a live CD, although others might be better for specific purposes.
There are a number of distributions that can run from USB (providing the BIOS supports booting from such a device).
