Guys, why is this newsworthy... I recently made a bootable ubuntu usb stick after a couple google searches and commodity $15 8GB stick from BBY sale bin. Maybe I'm missing something important here, but the technology to burn an ISO to a USB is freely available why would anyone spend extra money for this rig.

  YUMI does this apperently. I had never heard of Yumi before, but I read the comments (and the article) so now I know about it. So given our new knowledge what does this do that yumi does not?

    Yumi uses GRUB directly for the boot, so I believe it's limited to Linux only (AFAIK, Grub can't direct boot an iso)

      Grub can boot just about anything... Windows included.

      Unless things have changed GRUB can boot other operating systems.

  So you need 150 different operation systems on your usb and computer ? I'm just fine with creating usb stick with most recent version of os when i need. And i think most people feels the same way... If i can solve my problem with software and ordinary (=cheap) hardware, why should i pay 10 times more ?
