Ubuntu (or any Linux) Install from USB

On Monday I covered how to install Windows 7 via USB drive, but leaving it on it’s own would be unfair to our Open Source brethren.  Fortunately, if you want to make a bootable USB drive (under Windows or Linux) with a copy of Linux, it just just as easy.  All you need is UNetbootin…
