My favorite Linux Distribution Ubuntu Linux has come long way in last 7 years. Today I decided to download the latest version 11.10 and try it on USB stick since I am not yet prepared to upgrade the LTS version 10.04. Downloading and making a USB stick has become so simple. Here is how to do it:
Go to download page.
Select Download options:
Ubuntu 11.10 Latest Version
32 or 64 bit
Click on Start Download
After download check the iso with following command:
sha256sum ubuntu-11.10-dektop-i386.iso
sha256sums are available in this file
Following procedures assumes that you are running Windows
Go to pendrivelinux.com
Download Universal USB installer
Insert USB stick
Click on Universal USB installer exe file
Accept TOS
Select Ubuntu 11.10
Click on Browse button and select ubuntu-11.10-dektop-i386.iso
Select the drive for USB stick and check to format if necessary.
Select persistent file size
Click on Create
The installation process is going to take time. Relax.
After installation reboot with USB stick (I hope you know how to boot your machine with USB) and you get the new Ubuntu on your screen.
I did all the above steps and here is the screenshot:
I could also setup network connection using Bluetooth through my Samsung Galaxy 5 using the GUI.
I love new Ubuntu 11.10 but I need to learn using Unity Desktop which I am going to finish today.

I found it to be better than the conventional way of creating liveUSB
