Before installing iLinux OS, check Install Requirements.

Before running iLinux OS on your Computer, DISABLE Secure Boot and UEFI Boot from your Computer's BIOS. (Not necessary if you install on a Raspberry Pi Computer.)

Some USB Sticks have Hardware Level Encryption or Custom Hardware Settings from their Manufacturer and thus will not be able to Startup from iLinux OS or any other Operating System.

In USB Sticks Read/Write Speed varies. NOT ALL USB STICKS HAVE THE SAME READ/WRITE SPEED. Research thoroughly before buying and choose one with High Read/Write Speed.

We have thoroughly tested and recommend the following USB Sticks but you can use whatever you feel appropriate:

Sandisk Extreme Series

Sandisk Extreme Pro Series

Sandisk Ultra Flair Series
