    I think that this is a great idea and I really want to try it but I don't know anything about linux. :confused:

    I have been using ubuntu UE 2.8 which is a jazzed up ubuntu 10.10. I like it, but other than very basic stuff (things you can do with a mouse) I fall short. With Windows I'm great but this aint windows.

    Here is what I found that got me interested...

    HOWTO: Load linux into ram (usefull for security, CF-cards or very slow HDD's) - Ubuntu Forums

    The thread died a while ago but I though I would ask you guys if it would work with 10.10 and how to make that work.

    I have a Toshiba m700 4GB ram and a dual boot with win 7
