Today I have learned a great lesson from internet. I am using a 4 year old computer. I have recently came to know that it does not support booting from usb. I wanted to test so many linux distros. I have used Virtual Box before. But I was not not satisfied in trying the various distros in a VM. The interesting changes happening in the linux world urged me to test them in real environment rather than a VM.
Ubuntu 11.04 is switching to unity and gnome is shifting to gnome shell. I wanted to try these myself. But there is a problem. The Ubuntu unity and gnome shell does not work on a VM. It will switch to classsic gnome in unity and gnome without the new gnome shell in gnome 3 in a VM. And much more, these are extremely slow in a VM. This was really irritating to me and I wanted to test them using a bootable usb image. But my pc does not support booting from usb.
