Community Linux

Community Linux is a USB drive based fully functional writable Linux Distribution. It boots and runs with a comparable speed as a hard drive installation.

For new ComLin drive creation, one needs to download the full install (comlin-016.tar.gz) ... (not just the scripts)

Sounds very interesting. Does it have built in persistence? Is it based on Ubuntu so Unetbootin can be used? Does Linux Live USB creator support Community Linux to allow persistence?
