I remember getting puppy linux to work ONLY on RAM. Crazy times we are in when DDR3 is going up in price. I have that in my decade+ old computer.
I ran puppy off of a 16GB flash drive on my main rig after a catastrophic HDD failure for like a year before I finally got new parts.
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution
How good/bad was it compared to the HDD?
It was surprisingly decent for running Firefox & a text editor, which covered probably 80% of my usage at the time, so it worked just good enough for me to procrastinate on fixing things.
