Specially given that it is an old system. IMHO this is a terrible idea. A $10 USB stick is not the same as a real SSD. The I/O speeds, especially write speeds, are very different (for one thing the SSD is connected via a SATA interface, not a USB port). Also, a USB stick will wear out a lot quicker if it's used as a root filesystem with /tmp. Either buy a proper SSD or use a partition on the rotating drive. Note that a real SSD can go about twice as fast as a SATA 2 port, which is probably what you have on your machine, but it will still be dramatically faster than a USB stick. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
