uNetBootin: The Utility Belt for OS’s

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

If you’re in the mood to try a new operating system or two, I highly reccommend you try this little utility: uNetBootin. It is an image downloader that lets you easily select which Linux distro you’d like to install and it instantly starts fetching it from the cloud for you. Once the download is complete, it will allow you to put that bootable image on a jump-drive for super easy and quick installs.

And it runs in both Linux and Windows. I have yet to attempt to get it to work in OS X yet. I’m sure it’s not too hard though :)

    UNetbootin is a lifesaver. I don't know how I ever managed to get Linux on my netbook before I found it.

    By the way: Nice use of Facebook Connect! Was it difficult to implement? I've been meaning to play around with it some but there's not enough hours in the day lately.
  • Thanks! Sorry for the late reply - no it's really easy to impement if you use the <fb:comments> tag, throw in the xml additional doctype, and ref the hosted js. what are you looking to push it on?
