Wanna buy a USB stick with Linux in it

[hotbrainz]

Hello Friends,

Does any one have a USB stick with Ubuntu running on it. Many of my colleagues wanna see ubuntu in action. I thought it would be nice to carry it around in a USB stick. Does any one know where I can get one preloaded. Anybody's got one?

Having used Ubuntu a lot in my home systems i guess it is time to show off a bit :mrgreen: Any other distro will be kool to ty in this format too. So just chip in ppl. :)

have a look at http://d-i.pascal.at/

it's based on Debian and you can switch it to Ubuntu by bootstrapping it.

thanks jqk,

I will use the link if I do not find any package with preinstalled Linux :)

I dint wanna do any installation. Honestly, I need to be spoonfed. I got my boxes running at home after much scratch around. I would be happier buying a package now.

Hey jqk,

How would you bootstrap it to Ubuntu? Is there a howto?

thanks a ton.

whats wrong with the desktop cd?

I expected someone to ask :O

Well the Live Cd is fine but you cant save stuff on it. Like in the USB I can personalize it and Carry it around.

hey lopsicle,

How can i put beryl on without knowing the target computer's config... Will mess things up bigtime.. It can be a bad impression to the Linux uninitiated

thanks for the link slimdog. But the cost hits hard at $65. I must considering forming my own i guess if I dont find a cheaper option :(

hmmmm maybe just standard Ubuntu with a vid showing all the extra eye candy you can achieve.
