I have installed Ubuntu from a thumb drive and it was pretty smooth and<br>
easy. I did it once because I had no CD drive on a netbook and wanted<br>
Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and another time on a laptop with a flakey CD drive.<br>
The thing is, I used Ubuntu on another machine to make the USB, but I want<br>
to tell a friend far away using only Windows how he can do this. Do you<br>
know of good instructions on how to make the Ubuntu installation thumb<br>
drive from a Windows box?<br>
<br>
By the way, a young guy with a BA in Math told me he wanted to be a<br>
scientist so I told him that step #1 was to get rid of Windows, use Ubuntu<br>
and start learning R, bash, emacs, and so on. I think Python would be a<br>
good idea too, but he's working mostly on stats right now and we don't<br>
want to do everything at once. Funny thing is he already was using<br>
OpenOffice, GIMP, Firefox/Tbird and a bunch of other free software under<br>
Windows, so he has no real Windows-dependency problem. He's the guy who<br>
needs the thumb drive.<br>

If you are an electrical engineer or electronics hobbyist interested in programming PIC microcontrollers with C source code in Linux instead of Windows, I have been able to get things working in antiX Linux M8.2 with MPLAB version 8.43 (with HI-TECH PICC 9.70) in WINE 1.0.1-1. This combination gives me all of the functionality I had in Windows without requiring the use of Windows.<br>
<br>
I tried using open source software in Linux (SDCC, GPSIM, PikLab/KTechLab) but kept running into problems. The arrow pointing to the line of code never showed up when using GPSIM to simulate C code. I also ran into issues like limitations in the selection of microcontrollers supported. I admire what the open source developers are doing, but their work is not yet ready for prime time.<br>
<br>
I had difficulty in the past trying to program microcontrollers with C source code in Puppy Linux. I'm not sure if the issue was the older version of WINE, the older version of MPLAB (before HI-TECH PICC was integrated into MPLAB), or Puppy Linux itself.<br>
