Etcher 1.0.0-beta.17 Walkthrough
|
|
Etcher is a cross-platform (Windows and Linux) tool that lets you write images to SD cards and USB drives. It enables users to experiment with 'live' Linux environments without writing to the computer's hard disk. I am hoping this tool will let me find the distro best suited for my needs, before 'commiting' one or more distros to my hard disk. Etcher is released under an open source license; the Apache License Version 2.0.

My Linux experience can be summarized literally on a postage stamp. I've tinkered with Ubuntu using VirtualBox, a virtualization software package, and experimented with an Android application called AndroLinux. But I’ve never installed a Linux distribution from scratch. From what I’ve seen, Ubuntu and the volume of high quality open source software has piqued my interest in Linux. I have been seeking a utility that lets me easily test out as many distributions as possible (without using desktop virtualization software). A colleague suggested I try out a little utility called Etcher, to start on my Linux adventures. This walkthrough summarizes my first steps with this utility. It is currently in a beta of its software release life cycle, which suggests the utility is feature complete but prone to known or unknown bugs.
