[LINUX_Newbies] Re: UNetBootIn and Enlightenment

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking--what do you mean by "learning for any projects"?

This will enable you to install the Live version of any of many popular distros on a USB thumb drive, and run it from there or install it from there. That way, you can actually save data to the thumb drive, as it is still recordable. to me, this is a far superior method than using a CD. Unetbootin is available in versions both for Windows and for Linux. It can either use an ISO image you have already downloaded, or it can download it for you and make the setup even simpler.
