[olug] Best Brand for Bootable USB Thumb Drives

[Dan Clough]

My SanDisk 2GB Cruzer works just fine on my MacBook Pro (the problem is 
that the MBP doesn't allow USB boot... a boot CD fixes that though).  
I've run SLAX and Ubuntu successfully on that drive, not to mention it's 
very rugged and has held up to my constant abuse (physical and 
file-wise) for the last two years.
