Not by a long shot :-)
Not sequentially reading data but in practice things run far better due to the HUGE random access times of a CD. Ever had to wait for the CD to spin up and then start your application? Exactly.
USB 2 is certainly far more comfortable than CD or DVD.
I have seen some server level PCs taking 15 minutes, measured with a wall clock, to boot from a usb stick (text mode). That same computer booted from CD to live under two minutes to a graphics system.
Carlos, apart from a "server level personal computer" being a bit of an odd thing :-), that was surely a hardware issue. Anything I've recently booted from USB definitely completed faster than from CD. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
