Hi All,

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).

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.

Can anyone point me to some resources on how to set this up?

This PC doesn't have USB 3.0, will USB 2.0 be fast enough?


Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter
