Linux isn't as myopic as people are claiming in this thread.

Ubuntu points users to this page to create a flash installer:

And Fedora points users to a Windows version of liveusb-creator here:

Debian, unfortunately, only gives instructions to burn to a CD/DVD via
Windows on:
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-windows
And there is always PCLinuxOS, which was originally designed expressly to make
the transition to Linux easy for Windows users.
I wasn't making an exhaustive list of distributions. I just check
three and found their instructions.

I've just checked PCLinuxOS and there aren't any CD/DVD/Stick-creation
instructions:

I can only access a cached wiki page at the moment and it only has CD
burning instructions.


There are instructions for making a boot flash-drive here:
