BECAUSE LINUX IS LINUX.
Why wouldn't you? I mean I don't cuz I want to target bill gate's lovers. But I DO carry a linux operating system (on my thumbdrive) with me everywhere I go.Favourite quotes:

How would I show I have linux installed on my thumbdrive? lol... Originally Posted by 258456

Although not exactly linux, it's a linux derived operating system, which was what linux was made for.Last edited by VvITylerIvV; 06-01-2011 at 05:46 PM.

You need to select some stuff as the computer is booting... Most computers priorities are disk > USB drive > HD though. Originally Posted by 258456

Not a problem...
Google ubuntu on USB drive... Somewhere you should find a tutorial
Although I believe there is an ubuntu version specifically FOR USB drives.
It's really nice when people are all like "Oemgee I just has a major viruseess"
I get to call them an idiot politely, whip out my keychain and lend them an operating system LOL.Favourite quotes:

Any operating system can be run from a USB flash drive. But windows costs money. Something many of us don't have or have but don't want to part with. Originally Posted by freedompeace

Alright legit answer time.
Because you believe in the freeware movement. Linux is free and open source meaning you can look at it's source code. You can improve ANY Linux distro you see fit, and help EVERYBODY that use ANY form of Linux. Linux is alive because of the goodwill of the people who takes their time to code free programs for Linux. There is no benefit to coding on Linux (other than the fact it is smaller than windows, and in some cases faster), there is less options for compilers and IDE's on Linux. There is no positive, but there is no negative. Just different API's, and no selling your work.[IMG]https://i298.photobucke*****m/albums/mm280/Ez2animate/mynewsig.png[/IMG]
