Just few days ago, I wrote a post on making a live Ubuntu usb disk in three easy steps. Integrating a live USB maker tool into Ubuntu default installation has been one of the popular requests on brainstorm site.

USBLive Ubuntu

A new application USBLive has started showing up in Ibex beta. As you might have guessed, this handy tool helps you to make pizza. Just kidding! Of course, it allows you to make a USB bootable disk with Ubuntu in it. Just give the source image (.iso) file or insert a live CD, plug-in your USB drive, adjust the space to be reserved by the default installation, and click Make Startup Disk. How easy as that? You can access USBLive from System>Administration>Create Startup Disk menu

Another system tool that has been included is System Cleaner. It cleans up your system to make it

System Cleaner

‘kinda-new’. You can clean all the installed applications or select only those which you are not going to use any more. Access System Cleaner from Applications>System Tools>System Cleaner menu At first, you might think removing the applications can already be done with Add/Remove tool. So, what’s the difference? Nothing! It just gives you a list of those applications which you have installed after running up Ubuntu for the first time. No confusions whatsoever. It comes very handy when, for an example, you don’t want to poke the default applications but only want to remove those non-sense applications which you gave try few days ago. BTW, if you want to track all you apt activities, the ever useful tapt is always there.
