Linux From USB Flash Disk


Something that attrack my attention about Linux is running it from flash disk via USB port. On Friday June 18, 2010 I tried to emulate Ubuntu 10.04 to flash disk. Alhamdulillah, it worked. So that I can run Ubuntu from USB flash disk. The way it works is similar with running Linux from a Live CD.
So this is the way you do if you want to run Ubuntu from flash disk:
1. Buy a 2 GB of flash disk. This is the minimal size.
2. Get Universal USB Installer.
3. Download Ubuntu iso from Ubuntu site.
4. Place Universal USB Installer and Ubuntu iso on your computer in the same folder.
5. Run Universal USB Installer.
6. Follow the wizards.
That's all. Pretty easy huh?
:)
This trick may be the solution for the computer who cannot run Ubuntu Live CD. Because I have the same problem with this. Formerly I ever tried Ubuntu Live CD to run in my laptop. But my laptop get freezed during its loading. And using this trik I can run Ubuntu well on my laptop.
So do you want to try?

First Trying of Ubuntu in Networking

Today June 03, 2010 I try Ubuntu 7 (Feisty Fawn) that I get from Bogor when I attend computer networking training. I try this Ubuntu in my office computer that is connected to a network and also connected to the Internet. I know Ubuntu a few years ago, but this time is my first experience trying Ubuntu in a computer network.

One thing fascinates me. Ubuntu can detect everything including a network that already exist. So everything is easier. Using its live CD I can PING to Google and try to connect to any sites I want. So this could be my first post using Ubuntu in LIVE CD and in a network. Alhamdulillah.

Reach 10.000 Visitors for Buku-Islam in Three months

Alhamdulillah, my blog http://buku-islam.blogspot.com by June 03, 2010 has reached 10.000 visitors since I installed the counter on February 24, 2010. So, it needs three months to reach such a amount visitors.

What does this sign mean? For me, this is only my prediction that could be right or wrong, there are good antusiasm among people (Indonesian people) in searching Islamic knowledge. Especially, the knowledge about basic of Islam.

May Allah be with us and preserves Islamic da'wa in Indonesia. Amin.
