I received as a Christmas present a USB stick with a bootable Ubuntu 9.10 installation on it. It was fairly cool, but I probably was expecting something a little bit different. It seemed that the purpose of this product was to show you Ubuntu, and let you install it. Before you laugh, consider that Knoppix and some other live CD distros have had an option for creating a persistent boot image. This Ubuntu live "CD" wasn't for the purpose of regularly booting the USB stick as your distro-on-the-side. In Ubuntu's menus, I did not run across an option for creating a persistent disk image, as I remember Knoppix having a while back.
Any thoughts? Is there a distro that today makes for a good "live CD" on USB? Is that whole idea overrated, is there a better way for a quick fix? -- Greg M. Johnson http://pterandon.blogspot.com
