The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope
Lightbulb Firefox in RAM

Today I was bored, so I made a ext2 partition and mounted it in RAM, and then I proceeded to install Firefox on it, hoping for a dramatic speed boost in loading times, so that when I click the icon on the panel, it would be there. Didn't help that. However, my surfing seems to have gotten faster... although I didn't time it. I guess I'll keep it, simply cause it seems snappier. And that's what matters, right? Not sure why that would be though... If someone is interested, and wants to try this, I can post instructions on how to do this...EDIT: Did that, it's close to the bottom of the page.

I'm just curious if anyone else has tried anything similar to this or has any comments about it.
