It loaded very quickly. One thing I noticed about network connectivity: my SSID at home is hidden and I did not find an option to enter a hidden SSID once I booted up. Have I missed an option somewhere? I created the bootable USB using Hexxeh’s tool (thanks Hexxeh) and was able to boot with no issues at all. It loaded very quickly.

But dang, if you get what you pay for, that Lexar MUST be fast. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0007O7DT0?tag=betteraddons-20" rel="nofollow">1GB model is $20</a>, not TOO bad.

I was reading a tutorial the other day about creating a Mac OS boot partition on a flash drive, and they mentioned boot times would be noticeably slower. OCZ Rally2 Turbo and Lexar JumpDrive Lightning drives seem to have a reputation of being very fast, but are priced accordingly.
