1.	Solve : Which one works faster? CD/DVD or USB flash drive??
Answer» While installing some OS? Also being at some Live CD/DVD session? Does USB device (having installed OS on it) CONNECTED to computer is faster than a real physical CD/DVD then, being at the live session? Once the session is up, there is no PIRATICAL difference. Many Live Linux distros run on 512 MB of memory and do not need to read from the CD unless you call a n application off the CD. But for the record, I THINK flash is faster to load. BTW: Here are a couple of lists. http://livecdlist.com/ http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Live+Medium Even if you have sworn absolute allegiance to the MS monopoly, It is still a good idea to have a few Linux Live CDs in your survival kit. IMO, Flash will install OS faster. I have tried it thrice ALREADY and three times, it installed Windows 7 for less than 20 minutes while installing OS from a CD/DVD would take more than 20 minutes in my own experience. I'm not sure but sometimes this COULD also depend on your computer.
