From the developer:
Mac Linux USB Loader allows you to put a Linux distro on a USB drive and make it bootable on Intel Macs using EFI.
Main features:
- Create a live USB stick with a Linux distribution that can boot on Intel Macs natively without requiring rEFIt/rEFInd.
- Download a number of distributions that have booted on Intel Macs in our tests.
- Erase a previously installed Linux distribution on your USB stick, leaving your data intact.
