LinuxLive USB Creator (LiLi) is an interesting tool that allows the user to create bootable versions of the Linux system, which can be run directly from a USB drive - flash drive, external drive, etc. The program is aimed at users who have never had contact with any Linux distribution and would like to run it on their computer without the need to install it, as well as those more advanced users who would like to test it before installing the system on their computer's hard drive. LinuxLive USB Creator supports all the most popular Linux distributions - including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mint, SimplyMEPIS, PCLinuxOS, Slax, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Gentoo, Arch, Vyatta, CentOS, Knoppix, Mandriva, Sabayon, Red Hat and many others.

LinuxLive USB Creator drives have one significant advantage over common Live version CD/DVDs that can be run directly from a disc in the drive. This includes the ability to create new files, install additional software, etc., which is not available in an environment running from a CD.

Linux USB drives can also be used to install this environment on netbooks, most of which are free of CD/DVD drives. LinuxLive USB Creator also allows you to run any Windows distribution on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) without the need for any configuration. The tool is very simple and its operation should not cause any problems to anyone - it is supported by a friendly graphical interface available in the Polish language version.
