USB Linux for playing DVDs on Laptop?

Ok, wondering if anyone knows if this is possible....

A friend of mine is a pilot and has his own 4 seater plane.  When he flys friends around he said it would be nice to be able to let them watch a movie on his laptop.  Now his laptop doesn't work when he is up in the air, something to do with air pressure and harddrives.  I was just wondering if a usb linux distro exists that would allow him to boot to linux off USB thumb drive and use his DVD-rom to watch movies?

Just curious if anyone ever heard of this.....I guess he could always go out and buy a 7" DVD player for $100, but I'm just wondering if the linux on a thumb drive would work....

Thanks....

I don't get it.  What does this have to do with politics?

Google for knoppix or movix and you will find what you are after.
