Ubuntu on Flash Drive

Ubuntu is a free Operating System based on GNU/Linux distribution. It's virus-free, stable, and open-source software. This operating system focuses more on usability and emphasizes accessibility and internalization. There are many software programs you can use just like your Windows machine. Most open-source softwares today will run on Ubuntu. In this article, I will provide a simple tutorial on how to install Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a flash drive in a Windows machine.

Requirements:

2GB or larger capacity flash drive (FAT32)
Ubuntu 9.10 ISO

Instructions:

1. Download Ubuntu 9.10 ISO here.
2. Download and launch Universal USB installer here, select Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop i386
3. Once it is finished, set the BIOS to boot from the USB device and restart your machine then follow the instructions and don't forget to save the changes.

If all is well, you should be using your Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop (Karmic Koala).
