BerryBoot lets you choose which of the available images to install and boot from. You can choose at boot time which OS you want to run! Here&#8217;s a link to an article about it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webupd8.org\/2013\/02\/raspberry-pi-easily-boot-multiple-linux.html\">Raspberry Pi: Easily Boot Multiple Linux Distributions From The Same SD Card With BerryBoot<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berryterminal.com\/doku.php\/berryboot\">Or you can jump straight to BerryBoot itself<\/a>\u00a0and get started.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, the best thing about BerryBoot is that you can choose to install and boot from a USB drive\/stick. The SD card used in the Pi is easily swappable but that also makes it the weakest point in your set-up. Several times I&#8217;ve knocked the SD card, causing a fatal shut-down and corruption of the card. I&#8217;ve had to fix this <a href=\"http:\/\/178.62.14.192\/?p=1208\">using a method I previously documented<\/a>. I&#8217;ve also heard <a href=\"http:\/\/raspi.tv\/2012\/how-to-fix-a-broken-sd-card-slot-on-your-raspberry-pi\">stories of people dropping their Pi and damaging the SD card or the socket<\/a>. Effectively booting and running from a much more robust pen drive seems like a great idea. Okay, you lose a USB socket, but that&#8217;s got to be better than losing all your data through damage to the delicate SD card. The main disadvantage to BerryBoot is that you need access to a keyboard\/display to choose the boot image each time you start-up. No headless running with this method!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found a quick intro guide to using BerryBoot on the Pi.
