What about people who dont know linux ??? U think ur thumb drive will get mounted up as u plug it in ??? And dual boot does works but u think it would be nice if some 1 want s to reboot their machine as they dont like that OS ?
Whoa yeah ... almost 4got ... Don't make fsug look like some kind of "radical" group forcing people into using linux ... Its going to give a bad image to the group .... and yeah , a dual boot would be good !
