Running Ubuntu Linux from a USB thumb drive

Good evening.
Since my last post about using Ubuntu Linux with the Orca screen reader, I’ve found out that it’s also possible to run Ubuntu from a USB thumb drive.
If you want to experience working with Ubuntu but you don’t want to install it, then this method might be for you.
You can find detailed instructions about how to set up a thumb drive for Ubuntu by clicking this link.
The good thing about running Ubuntu from a thumb drive is that you can do it from Windows.

Some of you have asked if you can use Skype on more than one computer. For example, on your laptop and on a desktop at work.
The answer is yes, you certainly can.

  1. download Skype from
    the Skype web site

  2. Install it
