puppy loads onto ram or do I need persistence
by jones5 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CD8S)
I am trying to speed up my peppermint 8 distro. It is good but has recently become laggy both using browser and loading applications.
I use peppermint from a usb with persistence. It is good but I know there are slowness isues in such a system and I have them.
I have read that puppy (and others) load from the RAM but the whole OS and latest work can be preserved on the RAM for recall.
My question is - is this RAM 'persistence' similar to persitence on the USB but faster, or and is it in some way less 'permanent' or prone to loss of data? Which is better puppy with RAM preservation or puppy with persistence (if this is not nonsense). Please do enlighten me.
Also I cannot find anything on creating persistence in a live usb puppy system. Is this because it is not needed due to the RAM preservation of data?
Finally, as I want a very fast light but full OS to mimic Ubuntu and its software offer which Puppy flavour will fulfil the above requirements?
