1. Portable Eu System

I've been trying different distros lately. I've found one which can be easily installed on a thumb drive, along with Euphoria 4.1 and EuGTK, for a quick booting, very fast and rather complete system.
This is BionicPup64 (Distrowatch.org is one source)
Eu 4.1 is most easily installed via the .deb package here: https://sites.google.com/site/euphoriagtk/euphoria_4.1-0.deb and EuGTK 4.15 from https://sites.google.com/site/euphoriagtk
To get the and libraries used by a few of the fancier demos (e.g. the BEAR), use the package manager and search for libgtksourceview-3 and libwebkit2gtk-4.
Did I mention fast? EuGTK programs run instantly.

You really should learn to use {{{}}}. All those CamelCase "links" in your post point to non-existent pages here on openeuphoria.org.
I couldn't find "BionicPup64" on distrowatch.org. Via google it is Puppy 8.0, and distrowatch.org only links to http://puppylinux.com/index.html#download anyway. Crikey, 345MB, I remember when puppy was <50MB.

First time I tried Puppy about 10 years ago and it was already more than 100MB at the time. The first release (15 years ago) could have been <50MB, but a lot has changed since. I succesfully run OpenEuphoria interpreter together with EuGTK on Puppys (LxPup is my favourite), but haven't been able to convert and compile anything. What I don't like about Puppys is the fact that everything runs as root. For this reason I've moved to Porteus.
Yes, something seriously wrong has happened to the links in the firs post.
EDIT CamelCase words are automatically converted to links???

camelCase
Camelcase is converted to a wikipage. Creole markup is wiki markup.
This is a "bug" that should get solved after Greg invents a new web system.
To kill CameLCase you have to put a tild ~ before the word.
Mkusb
I discovered mkusb can turn any Ubuntu style Linux into a bootable USB system. You can also save changes to the USB. I managed to convert a full Mint Linux into a bootable system and get the whole thing run completely in ram.
Porteus
Porteus is a handy USB Linux.
I was about to create a oE|Phix "distribution" but I can no longer get the IUP gui to work. Also, IUP no longer supports 32bit.
This now suggests that I am ready to ditch IUP.

Is this because of the 32-bit / 64-bit thing?

No. There was a problem with compiler and linker, but, because Puppy was never my main system, I decided not to do anything about it.
