[olug] I learn new things about Linux every day

[Rob Townley]

i am reluctant to have other software build OS installation media for
me because so much trust and verification is required so that they
install a rootkit.  Having said that, one of the nice things about the
following projects is that it provides a very easy way to install
multiple ISOs onto a single bootable USB stick.  Then one click qemu
testing of each install option.
