Yup, if a ship was boarded or a camp overrun, there are procedures to destroy classified info. So, MM, not to drag the thread back on-topic, but did you have any followup questions on using an old machine with USB booting a Linux distro? I've done this for years to recover hard drive problems or to test-drive a new distro before installing, but I usually end up installing the distro, as it's faster and doesn't have the space restrictions a USB drive does. These days, though, with multi-gigabyte thumb drives so cheap, it could certainly be done. As someone said earlier in the thread, a slow CPU will still be slow. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uakrvqgvguxmozcq0uw1tnyo1ot02fa0uzsjhq39f...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
