My desktop is booted from my Android right now

I am sharing this from my computer which is booted from my Android-powered OPPO #Find5.  Amazingly, it’s a very quick mass-storage device. 

This is truely an easy way to try out Ubuntu on your desktop computer with minimal work involved and no additional resources other than a computer, a USB cable and a phone.  Using this, I now have a backup which only takes up 700megs on my phone’s internal storage.  

As an added bonus, this is a great way to boot a computer which has failed.   It’s one of those utilities to “keep in your back pocket” until it’s needed.  Pun intended.

Thanks to the developer of this fantastic Android application!
