Linux Live

Linux is one of most dynamic OS. There are updates happening almost everyday. Linux Live is one of the feature which caught my eyes. I simpally liked it.

The idea of Live Linux is that you have a portable OS in your pocket in form of a USB stick. You can just put this USB stick in any machine and reboot, and there you go you have your own OS running. Though you have some restriction but still it is good.

Now you have option to try out all the linux flavor and choose the one you like most. I am sure all the linux flavours has something or other good, but I simple fan of Ubuntu. It gives all the flexiblity you can ask for.

- Small installer, require only one installer CD

- Smarter Updates, update your Ubuntu with what you want.

- Bigger software base, you will find all the things you need in the Ubuntu source archive, ranging from Dev Tools to multimedia, Good drivers for your hardware to simple UI.

Coming back to Live Linux. All you need a USB stick, installer for you Linux and Lili creator. (Do a google and you find the steps for installation)

Once installed you have max of 4 GB of space to make any updates to your OS. Looking from todays prospective 4 GB is less but that is a constain that I know right, may be I am outdated on this. Still you can have most of the stuff you need.
Now if you go some place and wish to show something to someone no need to carry your machine and because you know all the drivers / software are there, you are kind of sure that it would work.

It is a gift for people like me who kind of play around a lot with Linux and end up spoiling them. No worries just do the reinstall / simple restore the files from backup of USB stick and you are good to go again
