| Hi, |

| IMHO Linux has very good caching mechanism, so there is no need of |
8 |
| ramdisks (er, ramfs or tmpfs) in most situations. |

| On the contrary, Solaris is using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/run. I really |
11 |
| like this idea, so after Gentoo install I always add |
12 |
| |
13 |
| none /tmp tmpfs size=64M,mode=1777 0 0 |
14 |
| |
15 |
| to my fstab. Your preferences may differ. |

I do this as well. On my laptop, I also mount /var/log as tmpfs to reduce the |
19 |
number of writes (and hence prolong battery life). |
