The dog never got killed :P

That's what you call an earthquake :eek2:

If they had gotten that much power on a smaller engine or more power out of that engine size it would be great, but with those numbers that is hardly an engineering achievement (maybe for Ford engineering). To keep my post fair, I have no doubt the mustang in question will be one hell of a ride.

Thanks everybody, 30 already :eek: We had a nice meal at home with family on sunday, yesterday I had to work so not much time for celebrations other than going to a restaurant. Wife gave me a glenmorangie, a dvd and killzone 2. Mom got me a shirt and 2 movies. An aunt gave a bottle of white...

Yeah, however if on such distros everything is lost the moment you turn it off. I believe Gotholic is looking for a portable Linux OS that he can customize, expand, upgrade, etc. Therefore at least the / must reside on the drive itself, while /var/log could reside somewhere in the RAM, /home...

Anyone still watching the show? I AM :bgtup:

The problem is that Linux isn't a read-only OS, there are logs, caches and configuration files that are updated, there's also the swap partition and the file system journaling itself. I don't know for sure what is the number of writes before it fails, I seem to recall it was in order of tens...

Sorry to hear that jim, my most honest condolences to your wife, yourself and your family.

AFAIK, there are no warnings. You could set up the OS to not use a swap partition but you would need enough RAM to hold up all your programs and the OS. This would dramatically reduce the amount of writes to the thumb drive, keep in mind that configuration files, logs and such would still be...

I use ubuntu for the desktop, I couldn't say there's something better out there because I haven't tried anything else in the past 2 years. As for the distro not wearing your thumb drive, the moment you put an OS in there you should expect it to wear out fast. (chic, flash drives do wear out...

LMAO :rofl4:

Meh, you guys can't drive without painted lanes I can't imagine any of you trying to fly something.

So how's the Win7 eXPerience?
