I am sorry, but this is wrong. A USB Key is another 'PC Architecture' that DOES NOT WORK for network devices. There is NO positive mechanical force to keep that thing inserted, and the way a USB Key would hang off most devices with a USB port, would put it at very high risk for being accidentally bumped / disconnected. Secondly, there are still many many PC Architecture boxen that still do not boot correctly from USB.Ryan Harden wrote:While you could probably build a linux router that is just as fast as a real hardware router, you're always going to run into the moving pieces part of the equation.Not if you boot directly from USB key into memory with no disk drive.
