Ubuntu can be easily installed by a Pen Drive as I have done many times. I have installed many other Operating systems by a pen drive. It runs all well. If you want to know about DVD Drives, let me tell you that external DVD Drives are also portable and are availaible in market from Rs1800 by samsung,Croma or Buffalo. Consider these scenarios. I am on a budget and have to choose between a laptop and netbook. A) A Budget laptop with decent specs and All thing required comes till 25,000 Rs. B)A 10"/12" netbook costing at max 18000 + An External DVD Driveof Rs.2000= Rs.20000 Scenario B is what I will choose as It will me cost efficiency, Portability, 8 hours long battery life with a Netbook. And Yes 10" Netbooks have VGA ports only, While 12" Netbooks have VGA and HDMI both. I still use My netbook with its VGA port attached to my 14" Monitor at home. And Whenever I go Outside I always Carry that 10" thing with me. It just weight 1.2 KGs On 10/13/12, Rishi Gangoly <rishigang...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Raju, > > And then installing Ubuntu would be done via USB Pen Drive?
