New Ubuntu Upgrade
hey everyone! I have noticed I have a lot of different techies that read my blog! but right quick thank you everyone for reading. I couldn’t do it without you.

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this USB stick to work with the latest version of Ubuntu? Thanks for the help everyone!
