Live Linux on USB

I’m featuring something awesome in the next Pirillo’s Picks (subscribe to get even more cool finds by sending an email to picks@lockergnome.com). It’s so awesome that I had to share it here in a completely dedicated entry: USB Pen Drive Linux. This open source project puts Live Linux distributions in packages ready to load onto and boot from USB flash drives. This includes DSL Embedded, Knoppix, PCLinuxOS, SLAX, MiniMe+ SLAX, and Ubuntu! Yes, you can run Ubuntu easily from a USB key!
