UNetbootin for a live USB

Hi, if your pc can boot from usb this is a great way to try/test new Linux distros, but your pc have to sport this, if so using UNetbootin is very easy tool for that, some pictures...
locate the UNetbootin app and start

select disc image

go to live image
this warning appears because my usb was a live distro if your is empty no warnings
is preparing the usb and coping the files
when finish you can reboot or exit, rebooting will boot from usb if or bios is set for usb boot.

The best alternative to Itunes in Ubuntu

Sync Ipod Classic on Ubuntu with Banshee the best alternative for me on Ubuntu, system is Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64Bits and Banshee is 2.4 (2.4.0), before I've used GkTpod but on Ubuntu beta it stop working crash adding music or even bring settings.
         It is the best for me because of ti looks and it is easy to add and edit our files in ipod so some screen shots...
Banshee/help/about
Banshee/edit/settings
for me the most important setting i've change is stop fetch covers from the internet
the main look of Banshee, in left pane is my ipod, the music on ipod they locked and no covers, click play and you will see the cover and the locker disappear, underneath is itunes no is not is Banshee with the info you get in itunes,


drag and drop the album to your ipod to your ipod name not to music, that is all i need for sync my ipod classic on Ubuntu.
