Since I made the post for 10.10 here, I decided to update it with the process for 11.04. Honestly it’s not any different.
This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.
I hope this helps anyone having issues with this process. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

Well it has been a while but not all is lost. Most recently i was quite surprised to hear that many people have problems with this. Since it is pretty simple I figured it was a good opportunity to explain the process. Sure Natty is out now, but I figure many folks will still find this relevant.

Well it’s good to know that updates bring change.
Many times change brings about a better way of doing things. Other times it may bring change to old familiar ways and we may not like them. Take the moving of the Gnome window buttons for minimize, maximize, and close.
The latest version of Ubuntu decided to move these buttons to the left side of the window. This isn’t so strange. Many OS’s over the years have had the close button on the top left, but rarely the other buttons. I understand that Microsoft Windows has set the position on the right and when I adopted Windows as a OS I quickly became quite familiar with this method and today, take for granted their position since both KDE and Gnome Desktops for Linux did the same thing. However as of Ubuntu 10.04 it’s now on the left.

I try to avoid software thats end of life but occasionally I get stuck with a few programs that just don’t have any updated versions or are tied to a piece of hardware that I need to use. LCDC is software designed to run little LCD displays you can buy for your computer. I have one in particular thats over 3 years old now but still runs great. However it hasn’t been updated well ever.
Today I took to scanning my PC and discovered that some of the plugins for LCDC were infected. I decided to check the web site http://www.lcdc.cc/downloads.htm for updates, it didn’t appear off hand that any were actually updated, but it does appear that some are not infected and others still are.

When it comes to passwords nearly everyone has their own system to deal with them. But how secure are they? Today most passwords under 9 characters are not really deemed secure thanks in large part to the databases that are available to simply look up the passwords. But aren’t they encrypted or secured from prying eyes you may be thinking? Sure but the most common form is to save them in MD5. SHA1 and similar variants are uncommon as well as better methods but for the vast array of online web sites, MD5 is considered standard.
