The good, the bad, and the ugly... when it comes to running OS off CD/Flash

The good:
1. "It's a fairly l33t thing"-Mr Reichelt
2. Operate and have access to hard drive without a trace
3. Use your preferred OS anywhere!
4. Foundation for haxing!

The bad:
1. Not as fast as running off Hard Drive
2. Can't save as much stuff
3. Can't run programs that push the CPU too hard(games, graphic programs)

The Ugly:
1. Not hacking? Then there's really no point...

i agree with all pros and cons. The operating system on a usb is mainly for hacking and anything else this is pointless.
