Re: Run Ubuntu without having to install it

Agreed, just downloaded it yesterday.. I much prefer Ubuntu in comparison to the other distros out there so this a bonus for me :D

I think he meant USB hard drive. Doubt its a flash drive, iirc the biggest ones out are 64 GB

Nice... pricey I bet... I need to google this, maybe New Egg carries these..

Re: Run Ubuntu without having to install it

I just bought a 16 GB Flash Disk from NewEgg for $15 (after a $10 rebate)

Re: Run Ubuntu without having to install it

Good price! I love those guys.. I would loved to get the 64 gb though, if its not outrageously priced.. come to think of it, whatever happened to those high capacity DVD disks that were supposed to be released...
