Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Google Linux OS

How do you rate its speed? Chromium or Chrome are fast on my computer in
K/Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSuSE, but the OS is slow when running from usb
key. My version is weeks old, so perhaps I should upgrade it. If it is still
slow running from a usb key, then I will wait.
