VirtyDrive

Cross-Platform Linux drive creator, VirtyDrive setups your Linux isos on USB Drives, works on Windows, OSX and Linux.

Handy-Dandy tool for booting different Linux distros from USB Drives. Currently supports TOP-10 DistroWatch plus 2 distros for the RapsberryPI Project

Name	Version	Arch	Porpuse
Linux Mint	17.3	64-bit	Desktop
Debian	8	64-bit	Desktop
Ubuntu	16.04	64-bit	Desktop
Open SUSE	42.1	64-bit	Desktop
Fedora	24	64-bit	Desktop

Note that this is a live list so it will be update from time to time depending on distroswatch stats.

Virty will download the selected distro and write it to a USB/SD-Card Drive selected. If you have a iso file of a different distro you can also write it the same way.

VirtyDrive is based on electron framework try latest version, open a terminal and:

1. user$ mkdir development; cd development
2. user$ git clone https://github.com/Brunux/virtydrive.git
3. user$ cd virtydrive
4. user$ npm install this will install all dependencies.
5. user$ sudo electron virty-app/ why sudo? Writing to /devs needs elevated privileges.
6. test it.

This is the first build, so issues are expected please if you find one fill it in we will try to fix it asap.

Be aware, the way the iso is downloaded consumes lot of RAM memory (the size of the iso file) there is a WIP to fix it.
