Multiple persistent linux installs on 80GB external USB drive

Can it be done? I'm wondering if you can set the machine to boot to external drive and once it does have a menu of the various distro's I have on the external drive to choose and boot to.

Yes, set it in the BIOS to boot to the external hard drive then use GRUB. If you prefer a graphical bootloader use this.
