[dba-Tech] OS on Eproms

Jim,
I seen mentioned the fact that you can put a bootable ubunto onto a memory
stick. But their site makes no mention  of this.  Do you have any info.

I would have liked to boot into Unix,  deleted the folders that MS refuses
to let me  delete and then reboot into Windows.
