We invite you to test drive Linux Journal's

Hacking Truths: "There are so many reasons why having a Linux distribution on a USB drive can come in handy.

From having a “rescue” OS on your keyring to being able to install a new distribution on your EeePC, a “thumb drive” Linux has many uses."

V3: "Linux developer Mandriva has updated its operating-system-on-a-stick with the release of Mandriva Flash 2010, which includes a bootable version of the software on a USB Flash drive."

Linux Journal: "If you need to move your Linux installation to a different hard drive or partition (and keep it working) and your distro uses grub this tech tip is what you need."

Linux Magazine: "The vast of amount of data being stored in this day and age, naturally leads to files sitting unused for longer and longer periods of time.

A new app, agedu, can quickly tell you what data on your filesystem is lying fallow."

I was relaxing, reading personal email on a leisurely Sunday afternoon when a note from a long-lost friend brought work, and Linux, front and center.

The friend, from whom I hadn’t heard in years, reported that her husband, frustrated beyond belief with Microsoft Vista, just bought a new laptop specifically to test-drive Linux.

“Which operating system?” I had to know. “Ubuntu,” she responded in a follow-up email.
