Due to some of the comments on the last post about my disaster thumb drive, I figure this would be relevant to your interests. I present to you what I think is the perfect thumb drive to use as a Linux install/run from flash drive:
And yes, that is what I’m currently using at home for installs or if I need to work on a machine that won’t boot to its native OS.
Cool! That’s some good swag!
HA! That would certainly help keep it from getting mixed up, now, wouldn’t it?
I recommend a USB drive with a write protect switch:
I’ve got a Kanguru Flashblu which I’m pretty happy with, except if I have to pay a premium, I would want something with a larger and more robust-looking switch. No problems so far though.
It’s particularly handy if you are delousing a windows box. Memory sticks are a common vector.
I’ve also got one of those old U3 drives, which emulates a usb stick and a USB CD-ROM at the same time. There’s a package that is suppose to let you change the iso that gets used as the image for the CD-ROM, but for some reason I haven’t got it to work for me yet. http://u3-tool.sourceforge.net/
