August 2022: USB Boot

Live boot was such an exciting idea 15 years ago – just carry a CD with you and boot from anywhere. But old-style boot CDs had some limitations. For one thing, they came in a fixed size. Then there was the problem that you couldn't save anything. Today's USB boot tools solve those problems plus offer a feature that no one even thought about back then: access to several boot images on a single stick.
