Today I have released Dotsch/UX 1.0. - Dotsch/UX is a Linux distribution for BOINC which easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically. For more informations have a look at http://www.dotsch.de/Dotsch_UX |

This looks cool. I would d be interested to know if there is any performance increase when SuperSpeed USB 3.0 comes out at the latter end of the year. Check this out: SuperSpeed USB 3.0 in action at Engadget Rob |

With USB 3.0 the system would faster boot from the USB stick. But the crunching would not have any big benefits from USB3, because the most BOINC projects only writing a few data to the USB stick every several minutes. |
