Install Ubuntu NetBook Remix to USB using Windows. Ubuntu NetBook Remix (UNR) is a netbook oriented Linux distribution created by Canonical Ltd. It is based on Ubuntu.
By installing UNR to a thumb drive, your Live portable UNR operating system can then be run directly from the removable drive. Or alternately you can use the bootable USB to perform a full install to your computer's internal hard drive.
