'Bootable USB Stick With Ubuntu', and 'iReboot'

Bootable USB Stick With Ubuntu

Here a two methods for putting the fresh new release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) on a USB stick. The first method will create a bootable USB stick with a live version and the second process will create a live version with persistence. Both methods are an excellent way to always have your favorite Ubuntu system and software with you.

iReboot

iReboot sits in your taskbar at startup (only taking up 400KB of memory) and lets you choose which operating system you want to reboot into. Instead of pressing restart, waiting for Windows to shut down, waiting for your BIOS to post, then selecting the operating system you want to boot into (within the bootloader time-limit!), you just select that entry from iReboot and let it do the rest.
