<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have a spare desktop computer and monitor sitting in
the garage that I want to set up for my 10 year old son,
but it doesn't have a hard drive. I'd rather not have to
buy another hard drive (even though they are pretty
cheap). <br>
<br>
I've read somewhere that Linux can be run from a USB
flash drive. Since all this PC would be used for is
general web surfing and web-based flash games, I thought
that this would be a viable solution. It's about a 3
year old machine so the CPU and RAM are quite adequate.<br>
<br>
Can anyone point me to some resources on how to set this
up?<br>
<br>
This PC doesn't have USB 3.0, will USB 2.0 be fast
enough?<br>
<br>
<br>
Any thoughts are appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
