I've worked with Linux for a long time, and I love the fact that almost
daily I stumble across something that I didn't know. Today's was a command
to test if the bootable usb key you just made actually works:

# qemu -hda /dev/sdb -m 256 -vga std

Replace /dev/sdb with the device name of your usb stick.

I thought that was pretty awesome.
