Hallå abtabt, (nice country Sweden, loved it in Stockholm - except for the beer price ^^)
concerning the "toram" thing, I'm reading this article :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM and now realize I had a rather naive approach to the problem (thinking that simply adding a "toram" switch in the boot command line would make Ubuntu operate from RAM, simple as that - NOT ! ^^).
So I obviously need to do some more thinking here; I'll take some of your advices like creating a "light" version of Ubuntu, eg I do not need OpenOffice in the install, and I can probably strip off other unnecessary stuff from the Distro to make it as lean as possible. In terms of distro, if I have to go thru that level of customization then it make full sense to switch to the lighter Lubuntu right away instead of spending more time on Ubuntu.
How do you change the "swapiness" ?
In terms of boot time we're talking several minutes on my Powerbook, this is quite long. which is also why I need to have "suspend" mode fully working at some point. Unfortunately I'm afraid this is just a pipe dream, considering the problems I'm having with the graphics driver (not to mention Wifi, I haven't even started to work on this issue). But we'll see, one step at a time...
