Oh well. My cryptanalytic skills failed. =(

In all honesty I would prefer Linux on a flash disk rather than a CD, especially in an environment where there are a few techs running around having to fix computers, and a separate OS in another type of media like USB would be quite handy. Perhaps you need to get some files off a computer that the windows died in? Plug up a flash stick with Samba on it and you're ready to fly with the files. USB is a bit faster and more reliable than optical media, it may end up being a must for any computer technician.

DAmn Small Linux is probably better. No offense but Linux wasn't really designed for use in a flash drive and what all can you do on a flash drive, really? You should use a Cd.

Having Linux on a Flash drive is nice, though, because you can save to it, whereas if you're running a LiveCD you can't save anything else to the CD.

wow lol soon they wont even need hardrives

I successfully failed at trying this, I installed Puppy linux on my 128mb SanDIsk cruzer mini, and it woudn't boot, my Bios is set up to boot from it ? I found out later that other people had same problem with cruzer.
Is anyone here using it?

Current USB implementations (USB 2.0 with EHCI) are much slower than optical media. Audio CDs are recorded with 44 KHz, 16 bits and two audio channels. In other words: a 1x CD reader reads more than 176 KB/s. Since the speed of a CD drive is measured in audio data rate, a 56x reader reads more than 9.4 MB/s. This beats a USB flash drive, which gets only a few MB/s. Just compare the download time of photos from a USB digicam with the download time of the same files from a CD.
