Totally disagree. By the time you configure BART or whatever to have all
the right drivers (network drivers for say, Nvidia chipset, or new Intel
network drivers) SATA drivers (new Intel, ATI, Nvidia, etc.) and it loads up
all of those things, you can wait a while.
On a decent fast machine, it's not bad, but on a slower machine it's a
virtual eternity.
Try booting one on a machine that doesn't have enough memory & you
can wait forever. ;-)
Still I would much rather boot a BartPe or XpPe disk CD that remove
the HD & put it into another machine. I tried booting the new
Knoppix 5 DVD on a 2700+ machine & I thought that would never boot up
but it did eventually.
