0 to Ubuntu in 3 minutes!

Yeah that's true. You may have heard "0 to Linux in 5 minutes"(TM Knoppix) from Klaus Knopper but this time it's "0 to Ubuntu in 3 minutes!". My many day old dream of booting Linux from my USB came true , finally! It was possible only because of a rare combination of Funds+Time+Sources.

Initially I'd thought of making my USB stick to boot PCLinuxOS(the second best Distro) but then couldn't succeed then tried Knoppix again failed since My laptop didn't have the right driver to boot Knoppix. Then tried Fiesty Fawn ,again faced compatibility errors.I also tried to make the boot stick from windows and tried to port Slax, That also failed. Later succeeded with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. It just boots quickly within 3 minutes and 'viola' you are all set to use it!
Though the usb boot concept is now a pretty old one I'm feeling so happy that I was able to do it finally.
Thus all the credit should go to :
1]www.pendrivelinux.com(main source)
2]www.launchpad.net(for answering my pesky questions)
3]The open source world(for making such an amazing project)
4]My Brother(for his suggestions and for answering my crazy doubts)

Vroooooooooooooooom

Back yard blossoms



This is one of the few flowers which bloomed in our back yard garden recently.
A very soft flower and is pretty small in size. (Dont know it's general/scientific name)
