UNetbootin (Universal Netboot Installer) is a tool that can install a variety of Linux distributions and other operating systems, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Debian, Arch Linux, Mandriva, Slackware, FreeDOS, FreeBSD, and NetBSD without a CD. It can run from both Windows and Linux. Unlike Wubi, and similar to the Win32-Loader, it installs to a partition, not a disk image, thus creating a dual-boot setup between Linux and Windows. Its distinguishing features are its support for a great variety of Linux distributions, its portability, its ability to create bootable USB flash drives (a Live USB distro), its ability to load custom kernel, initrd and disk image files, and its support for both Windows and Linux.[1]
