Linux on your "pendrive"

This website has very simple tutorials(plus they include the files for the tutorials) to install Linux on your pendrive(or however you like to call it..) and carry Linux wherever you go nice and portable. The only flaw to this is that some computers don't have the capability to boot from a usb drive. To check if the computer supports it you can check in the bios settings. Most computers have something on the POST(the screen with all the white letters or manufacture logo that appears in the beginning) that says some for example "press F2 for setup" and you look for the boot setting in that section you'll find boot priority and there you can specify the order you'll computer will base on for booting off a device. To have your computer boot off of your pendrive you'll have to specify usb devices as the highest priority. Once you have that done you can restart your computer and soon enough you'll see all the crazy Linux stuff. well have FUN.....
