I wish he would commit these kinds of speed boosting changes to other linux distributions.

  It seems like most of the speedup is from running everything from RAM. If you're serious about never touching disk, adding something like "BOOT=casper toram" to a stock Ubuntu kernel line might do it easily. Edit: OK for something practical this should work http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as... Just decline to give it any "persistent" storage, and point it at your hard drive (or a smallish <10GB boot partition) instead of a thumb drive. Does anyone know of a tool like this that will run on Linux? Edit2: unetbootin seems to be a similar tool that is cross-platform.

    I was hoping to get boost using games in wine, looking at it now i don't think it would have a useful affect, games would still need to use the hd for assets and swap space.

      Well that depends... if you have 16+ GB of RAM and don't mind waiting an extra couple minutes to boot, you wouldn't have to wait for textures to load from disk during the game! :)

  Maybe you want to try linuxfromscratch.org or Gentoo.
