I use it quite a lot, keeping several distros of current interest on a
flash stick for use as and when. Have had no problems with it so far.
One desirable feature would be to be able to remove a no-longer
interesting distro without having to replace all the ditros on the stick.
Surely not too difficult to add?
Regards,
Basil
