[Nottingham] Linux Live

[Rory Holland]

It's so good to be able to use a USB flash drive.
They're faster and quieter than CDs, not to mention they pay for themselves
in about a week if you distro-hop like I do!
I've used unetbootin in the past; which is good because it can download from
a large list of distros, soyou can just press go and walk away. Also its
cross-platform..
It doesn't have quite as good an interface as this one though, so may not be
as good for new users?
What is MM? Is it a magazine?
