Introduction
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.   ...

I use an alternative to UNetbootin, which supports creating a Bootable Windows Vista/7 install flash drive along with the linux distros. It also allows you to try unsupported ISOs, such as, say, the Seagate disk check tool, or Hiren's boot CD, or BartPE.

There are many good and stable utilities that will help you to create a Live USB Stick with your favourite distribution. Fedora has also a default utility for that which is called "Fedora Live USB Creator" (See https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/). I think that same applies to Ubuntu, which comes with a similar utility.

uNetbootin is an excellent choice as well and you've nothing to lose. Go ahead, install it, play with it. It works pretty well and can be used with most Linux Distributions and other free OSes.
