This is a
list of Linux distributions that can be run entirely from the computer's RAM. That ability allows them to be very fast, since reading and writing data from/to RAM is much faster than on a
hard disk drive. Many of these operating systems will load from a removable media such as a
Live CD or a
Live USB stick. A "frugal" install can also often be completed, allowing boot up from a hard disk drive instead.
This feature is implemented in live-
initramfs and allows the user to run a live distro that does not run from ram by default by adding
toram to the kernel boot parameters.

Additionally some distributions can be configured to run from RAM, such as
Ubuntu using the
toram option included in the
Casper scripts.
