If a computer is old enough it doesn't have a DVD it probably won't support boot from USB either.
You can boot from USB even if your motherboard is too old to natively support it. All you usually need to do is redirect it to your USB device via bootable floppy or CD. I used to reinstall Windows this way on an older machine because it was faster than installing from the CD. |

Someone should inform this dipshit that Ubuntu can be run off a USB drive.

Anyway still a non-issue, there's still literally hundreds of other Linux distributions out there and quite a few specifically made for older hardware.

That has to be the dumbest article I've read all month. That's pure and simple link bait. Moving from a LiveCD to a LiveDVD is not "shutting out old PCs". DVD drives have been standard for over 10 years now.
But what am I going to do with my AMD K5 desktop? </sarcasm> |
