UNetbootin is a utility for creating bootable flash drives using Linux/BSD operating system images.
Features of UNetbootin
The program has a fairly simple interface, where even an inexperienced computer user can create a bootable OS image and save it to a flash drive or a hard drive. The internal directory of the utility provides a huge selection of the 40 most popular versions of distributions: Arch Linux, Damn Small Linux, Xubuntu, etc. Each version is accompanied by a brief description and a link to the official developer's site.
