Flash drive linux

Part of every pc repair toolbox ought to have been a linux live cd, for when there is no hard drive installed, no hard drive accessible, or a broken hard drive. It also would let you see if the system or windows is at fault. With UNetbootin, you can install linux to a flash drive. The system can then boot off of the flash drive. Some distributions even support persistent images(so that you could use your flash drive as the primary boot device. UNetbootin is open source and available for windows here.
