@noelle 1) find a linux install you like
2) good luck putting it on an usb drive if you're not a techie
3) ok booting the usb and just clicking next (in ubuntu's case ) is ok
4) cry because your {video/audio/wifi} chipsets aren't /quite/ supported yet and it works like shit
5) ask for help and get {laughed/yelled/both} at
6) wonder why linux userbase is so small
