Pinguy OS 10.10.1
I have had mixed feelings about Pinguy OS since I first heard of it. I am really not interested in trying out "Yet Another Ubuntu Derivative" every time one comes along, so my tolerance level for ignoring what I consider "background noise" is set fairly high. Also, the stated purpose of Pinguy OS is to make a "more user friendly Ubuntu", and I feel like I already have one of those in Linux Mint - besides, there are a lot of very smart people working on that already. But despite all of that, Pinguy has seemed intriguing, the approach has been different from what others have done, and they have now survived at least a few months, and a couple of releases. With Ubuntu themselves wandering off in some rather strange directions, and some free time over the holidays, I decided to take a look at Pinguy.
The download is simple enough, from the Pinguy OS page on Sourceforge. With all of the extras that they have added to Ubuntu, this is strictly a LiveDVD distribution, they haven't attempted to shoehorn it into a CD image. But, how to turn that LiveDVD image into a LiveUSB stick? Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I didn't see any instructions, and I assumed because it is an Ubuntu derivative that the "Startup Disk Creator" on a running Ubuntu system would do the trick. Wrong, unfortunately, and in a rather confusing way.
