I’ve been researching how to run Linux from a USB stick and was amazed at the options. The best one I’ve found is the Linux Live USB creator, which is great but only runs from Windows. Not so good since I have a Mac at home.
Other friends here at work have suggested looking at Pen Drive Linux. Lots of good options, again for Windows. I’m just going to boot my Windows VM and play…
