Create Live USB units for many Linux distributions.
The majority of
Linux distributions can launched on a PC directly from an external unit, without having to be installed on a hard drive. These external units normally come in CD format, even though as of late
they are also using the USB pendrives.
UNetbootin is a simple tool with which to
easily create Live USB units for a vast amount of Linux distributions, without having to create or use any CD.
The program shows a simple window in which we have to indicate
the parameters like the Linux distribution that we want to use, where it can find the disc image, and the personalization elements, like a different kernel.
UNetbootin doesn't include any
disc images, that we will have to
download first. To make this task easier, it provides a link and information for each one of the distributions that can be used to create a Live USB.
Likewise, on its official website it provides links for the most common distributions with which it works.
By means of the program we will
manage to create a Live USB not only of the best known Linux distributions, but also of
less known distributions, but this doesn't mean that worse, like
Slax or
Puppy.
Ideal to
rummage and play with all kinds of Linux distributions, without having to install them on the PC.
