I have been interested in "bootable all in-RAM" distributions of open source unix-like operating systems because they are a way to "Stick it to The Man" and run my favorite operating system on The Man's system.
However, I have another thought. It is theoretically possible to create one of these things with a PostgreSQL server (and clients) on it. Why? To test drive beta or more-current-than-what-you-have-installed versions without dedicating a machine to it or to demonstrate the system to someone who doesn't want to dedicate a machine to it.
What got me thinking this way was the fact that I am slow to upgrade because I rely on a package system that is not always updated all that quickly, but I would like to preview the latest versions.
Has anyone already done this? Does it make sense?
