Live USB creator is standard Ubuntu tool.
I used it several times, for example when preparing this review:

I read this again to see what you were referring to. Although it might be inferred that the author thinks Live USB Creator is a distinctly SuperOS feature, I don't think that is the intention. The author was just saying that it is a feature worth mentioning, wherever it came from (in this case stock Ubuntu).

Why is there no link to the SuperOS home page? Come on, man!

One of the things I do is download new releases and test them out, so I thought I'd give Super OS 11.04 a flip. Unfortunately it can't be down loaded from softpedia's website, on clicking download your directed to other pay to download web sites which the informer of Super OS 11.04 failed to inform readers about. When and if Super OS 11.04 developers use softpedia as a free download site then I will download it.and not before

sorry but the download is free

I just now tried to download SuperOS from Softpedia. It redirects to the SuperOS mirror on hacktolive.com, which is SuperOS' home. This is good and fine, for the most part. But, for me it means no SuperOS, because WebSense thinks it's a "hacking" website, and therefore blocks access.

I have used Super OS: from 9.04 to current. I has the right mix of apps.
I like app runner and runz frame work. I like that it is not overly bloated. I down load via torrent.
