Waddling Past The Windows

“We all know that like a faithful Labrador, Linux is a geek’s
best friend. When it comes to recovering data from a crashed
system, it’s particularly friendly, providing the option to boot
from a Live CD or other media and recover files. The good geeks at
Active Media Products, however, have taken that one step further
with the release of their new BLU — Bootable Linux USB.

“AMP’s BLU is a USB drive pre-loaded with the latest Ubuntu
release — 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope — which allows a user
to boot directly into Linux regardless of the operating system
installed on the box in question. According to AMP, it is
compatible with Windows 7, and makes the perfect solution for
disaster recovery, as it is small, portable, and allows files on
the system’s hard drive to be backed up to the BLU or to other
media.”
