installing linux on fast usb flash drive without swap..
Hi,
Would I gain anything by installing the whole yellow dog 6.0 on a usb flash drive (corsair flash voyager GT) it is fairly fast for a usb-drive (34 MB/s read and 25 MB/s write). Then I could actually take swap out of use ?
What do you guys think?
I was also planning to use a CF to SATA adapter, but then I read from this thread that the disk access would be too slow anyway? Maybe there would be some gain in access speeds though ? Or maybe they could even be combined...
If I had a 8 GB CF connected to SATA adapter and installed a YDL 6.0 on it.. wouldn't that make the swap useless if I just wan't normal desktop/mediacenter use?
I have already made my YDL quite light by using Fluxbox as the window manager and disabling the GDM.
Please comment if you have any better ideas?
Where could I get the actual numbers about the hypervisor limitations for PS3 I/O transfer rates?
