Just seems odd to boot an operating system every day off of a USB stick when I have two internal spinning rust hard drives with plenty of space available. Is USB really the preferred method to use Puppy on a desktop if one doesn't care about the portable operating system aspect of running it on a USB stick and taking it from place to place to potentially use on different computers? I have a Pentium D 3.00 Ghz (64 bit) desktop with 2 GB of RAM from 2006 that I need a lightweight o.s. for and FossaPup64 9.5 seems pretty snappy running from the 16 GB USB I have it on compared to some other locally installed distros I tried.
So does it make sense to install it locally on one of the hard drives alongside either Linux Mint or Bodhi Linux and boot it from a hard drive since it loads into RAM anyway? Or is it really better for me to always boot from the USB stick every day and forget the local install?
