The coy Subject line and sparce snippets don't do this justice.
What it is is a way to install Linux from a USB thumbdrive,
or a from hard drive, or from a network--no optical disk required.
The app has a Linux port and a Windoze port.
Wikipedia's article rambles a bit less than the 2 linked
in describing what the app is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin#Features
Beyond that, the older article has a good bit of detail.
The newer article does add Sabayon to the list of distros
that are supported (Wikipedia already lists Gentoo)
--but that wgo article doesn't really say any more
than what the older article does.
...and paying $17 for a 2GB thumbdrive seems like a lot.
I've seen them for $2/GB; $2.50/GB isn't uncommon.
...or maybe that wasn't USD.
