 Installing Debian on a USB Stick with encryption
-  * Download ISO https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ or even better an image with included nonfree drivers (e.g. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.0.1-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/)
+  * Download ISO for the Distribution of your choice:
-  * Copy ISO to the STARTSTICK using ''dd''
+    * MINT is easy to get started and looks great: https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=237
+    * Debian is rock solid and easy to install but needs a bit more work to get started:
+      * https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/9.0.1-live+nonfree/amd64
+      * https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/
+    * Ubuntu provides an easy start, but has lots of software preinstalled which you may not want: https://www.ubuntu.com/
+  * Copy ISO to the STARTSTICK using ''dd'' or on windows use [[https://www.iseepassword.com/how-to-burn-iso-to-usb-drive.html|''Rufus'']]
   * Boot your computer with STARTSTICK. You may need to enter the BIOS and choose a temporary startup device and/or add the usb stick to the boot options. If the usb stick is not recognized, it may help to try different usb ports.
   * When STARTSTICK boots, choose graphical install
