Linux in RAM

[Duncan MacGregor]

Many small Linux applications run in RAM, like Freesco, Coyote and LInux 
Router Project.  I have Freesco running in 8mb RAM, from a single floppy.

As for larger distributions, Knoppix runs in RAM, boots from CD and has a  
full-on KDE/Open Office setup. 

A Compact flash  card connected through an adapter to an IDE port would help, 
too. This would look like a hard drive, and allow you data storage.
