Ubuntu boot from flash drive/installation

[hirano]

Good morning (GMT+8)

I want to try Ubuntu now because my CS class use this OS. I need to practice my self alongside with Ubuntu. I just wanna ask what to download? I'm a little confused because in their site there's this Windows installer but no Tutorials on how to boot from USB. If I get satisfied with Ubuntu i'll install it right away but for now i want to boot it from usb please help. Thanks.

I think you wanna go here:

<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick>

and maybe here:

Download the iso from here:

http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

You can make a bootable USB in Windows using UNetbootin from here.

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Or you can burn the iso to CD and use the supplied usb-creator to make a bootable persistent USB. Or you can use it to install the full version to USB, (4GB min stick).
