Want To Boot Linux From A Flash Drive?

unetbootin02.pngI have tried a lot of different Linux distro’s, they all have iso’s you can put on a CD. But this would take a crazy number of CD’s.  There are ways to put a distro on a USB flash drive yourself see pendrivelinux.com.  What if you just don’t want to bother with installing different pieces of software to get the USB flash drive to boot?

What Browser Is Best For Linux

This is a question I get a lot.

For instance:

Hey [mad]Berry,

I want to use a different browser besides Konqueror.
Are there many options?
Which browser do you recommend?
Which browsers do you use?

Thanks,

X

That is how this article on Bright Hub came about.  In the article I highlight some of the choices you have 10 to be exact.  I also name my favorite even though I’m using my least favorite right now.  Damn you Firefox with your handy addons.

If you have questions like this and would like to ask.  Then go to my contact page.

Mitter – A Desktop Client For Twitter

Are you tired of having to refresh your Twitter homepage every five minutes? Then you need Mitter. In this review of Mitter, we also show you how to set it up and give a little background on the Twitter craze.

Why Twitter or Mitter?

Twitter is a micro-blogging tool used by people to post “tweets” of what they are doing at the moment. Some even use it to report to the world about current news events. World disasters, such as the May 2008 earthquake that hit China, have reached Twitter first, before the news media was on the scene to report to the people.

Krusader – One of the Better File Browsers

In the Linux world, you can choose from a lot of different file browsers. Each distribution often comes with its own flavor. Krusader is a KDE desktop file browser, but it will work on Gnome as well. In this article, you will find why I think it is great to use.

Why choose Krusader?

If you are like me and use a current version of Kubuntu (here is what I use), then you might find that D3lphin, which is now said to be the standard file browser, is insufficient in providing the more advanced file-browsing options. For one thing, it doesn’t have tabbing, which I use alot. It also doesn’t have a very good built-in search for files. D3lphin uses Strigi, and I haven’t been able to get any good search results from Strigi.
