You can also install a ramdisk in Linux. So what's the problem?
I cant use a ramdisk in Linux to do a test run/install of a downloaded app. All of those I have seen so far have a default place they wanna run from, if I get them to run at all, which I usually dont. With Dos, if it's a dos app, it's a dos app. with Linux if find that some distros want .RPM, some .DEB, some some other things. With the famous power of Linux there is the downside of complexity.
