Less than an hour ago I asked a friend and Linux Guru how do I remove
the USB Stick? I did not see a dismount command on the GUI.  He said
just pull it out, just make sure you are not writing to it when you
remove it. 

He said Linux is way ahead of Microsoft when it comes to Hot Swapping
devices. Cool!
