no biggie, you can book linux from a 32 mb thumb drive/cf card, i use it in a low profile computer with no moving parts, as a router,

why is it trolling, i was just mentioning using an OS off a flash drive is nothing new, people have been using linux on embedded devices/computers off thumb drives/flash cards since quite some time

 

[DaFinn]

Yup, its fast.

Kalster, I do that too. But you do understand that a CF card is SLOOW compared to a solid state drive. DSL Linux boots fast, yes, but...

 

[placebo139]

Wow, that's fast.

 

[kalster]

ok, i understand the excitement i guess

LOL. Yeah, I found it almost immediately. I guess I was just lazy .

I can't believe I just watched someone reboot XP, and found it awesome. I'm scared at what I've become.

 

[ViperVin2]

wow that was fast. this should be more widespread in the upcoming years i hope

 

[Squisher]

Not that pricey, $130 for the board and $70 for the ram.

$200 for faster boot ups.........hmmm.

How much would you need for a complete XP Pro, with a lot of addons, skins, konfabulator widgets, etc. and the like? Could you hold all of that on 4GB?
