Community Linux is a USB drive based fully functional writable Linux Distribution. It boots and runs with a comparable speed as a hard drive installation.

Community Linux allows one to create a low cost solid state development and production platform.

For new ComLin drive creation, one needs to download the full install (comlin-016.tar.gz) ... (not just the scripts)

Update: Community Linux will now run on most every machine.
Update: Added Sound drivers, Intelligent boot drive search.

User Reviews

  • Sounds very interesting. Does it have built in persistence? Is it based on Ubuntu so Unetbootin can be used? Does Linux Live USB creator support Community Linux to allow persistence?
