Free application uSbuntu Live Creator installs a live cd from an ISO image onto your USB flash drive—much more useful, portable, and easy to deal with than carrying around a CD. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the application, you can pick a usb drive pick the source for the copy of Linux, and even format the drive all in one simple application. There are options for creating persistent storage, so you can save your settings between uses, and you can even boot from VirtualBox if you want to. uSbuntu Live Creator is a free download for Windows only.

The app also allows you create persistent storage on your flash drive. It’s compatible with Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 as well as Linux Mint 6 Main and #! 8.10.02 Standard.

USB flash drives are great, because they’re a lot more rugged and they can be reused again and again. They’re also totally silent, something I can’t say the same for the tiny blender of an optical drive inside my Toshiba laptop.

For a hassle-free way to cart around some of the most popular Linux distros in your pocket, this app is undeniably handy. It’s a free download and runs on Windows.
