Let me give you an example of the kind of insensitivity (or myopic
stupidity) that seems to be the hallmark of the Linux community. In
the Debian live page, dd is offered as the way to copy the ISO file
to a USB stick. But the dd program offered only runs in Linux! What
good is that to someone who is running Windows at the time?
A Linux article that proposes the use of Linux (actually Unix) commands
and not Windows commands? Whatever next?
I think Mark has made a fair point, but not in a fair way. He is
probably referring to
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/
which is not particularly nor exclusively aimed at Linux users. He (and
others) might wonder why there is substantial advice for users of
non-Linux OSs on writing an ISO image to a CD but nothing for writing to
a USB device.
