boot from USB
 

hi
I'm interested in Linux systems booting from usb flash drive or similar.
Is there a very fast device to boot so?
Which are the booting mean times with your typical devices?
Could the system boot from card reader?
thanks in advance

You can do all you comment under Linux and really fast.

how fast is loading?
 

Is there a very fast memory device so the boot is very fast?
thanks

Angelo,
I find that, http: //www .sysresccd. org/ Main_Page (remove the spaces to go to the url)verison of Linux boot from a usb flash drive well. I use it as well as Insert for data recovery. I use Knoppix, a verison of Linux that runs off a CD. I can't tell you speeds, I can tell you that is seems to take longer to boot from a usb drive than a hard drive. Hope that helps.
