Hi,
Looking to ditch Windows for Linux on my work lappy, but cannot really mess with my Windows drive, as I risk invalidating my IT support, and seeing as I work abroad on customer sites a lot, a corrupt software installation would be a disaster!
My solution is to run Arch Linux off a USB stick and then access all my documents on the Windows HDD so I have a permenant state of synch between Windows and Linux.
Has anyone ever used Linux off a USB pen drive for extended periods? Do you get issues with corrupt segments or anything after several r/w activities? Also what is it like speed- wise?
Thanks
