Playing around with Ubuntu Live.

Well, as you can see from the left I have been fiddling around with Linux today, Ubuntu to be exact. Its Ubuntu 6.10 as 7.04 has the persistence features that I need on a USB stick. This is just running from a live CD at the moment.

While I regret to say that I'm not posting this from within Linux because the Live CD doesn't seem to like my network card and/or my network I am pleased to report that I have successfully installed DSL on my 256 MB USB for a bit of a play around. I got it working using the instructions found here: http://pendrivelinux.com/. I hope to use the instructions from this site to get Ubuntu working when I get a 2gb USB stick.

I have my eye on a 2gb Sandisk Cruzer Micro for $40 from Bing Lee. My only concern is that it is "U3 Enabled" which I'm not sure will prevent it from being boot-able. I'll ask in store about it.
