You can install EXACTLY the programs you want and need, without a single download.\u00a0\u00a0 Then envision that you can actually boot from that\u00a0 USB drive.\u00a0\u00a0 This is what a LiveUSB is all about.\u00a0\u00a0 I can carry my Operating system and software on my key chain.\u00a0 If one of my clients has an issue with their computer, I can boot to my USB drive and test their computer’s hardware, verify their Internet connection, and even troubleshoot Windows disk errors without ever adding a single file or setting to their system.\u00a0 I can make an exact duplicate of any Fedora system to the USB drive.\u00a0 I can then install that exact same OS with everything on any computer anywhere.\u00a0\u00a0 Or I can just boot to that exact environment and see if I really like the way it works before I install it on any system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
