UNetbootin

I decided to try a new Linux distribution. Last time I installed Linux I installed it from a USB stick. I remember I needed some special software to make the USB stick bootable.

Now I discovered UNetbootin. This tool copies a Linux distribution to a USB stick and makes it bootable. It can even download any of the popular distributions for you.

UNetbootin is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

Samba problem

The Samba configuration file can be very small and simple. However, when the winbindd daemon was running, my Linux and Windows machines could not look into the shared folders (although they could see the shares).

If you want sudo without entering a password, edit /etc/sudoers and add:

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Save and that’s it.
