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.

    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?

    I just wanted to announce, that I uploaded a new version of Community Linux, and updated the Source Forge page using a Community Linux Machine. The project now is in mature phase. Peter Glen, Author
