I have my personal web site on my old clamshell iBook, and it runs a
dynamic DNS client every ten minutes via cron. That basically keeps
the disk spinning constantly. Burned out a drive last year, and I'm
worried it will burn out a drive this year. So I'm thinking of
putting the client on a RAM disk, although, since I wrote the client
in perl, I suspect that I'd then have to copy perl itself to the RAM
disk as well.
RAM disks are so cheap now. I saw a 64MB USB on google for $8.97.
Tht's a flash RAM devive, not a RAM disk. Different thing.
Hi Chris,
Why wouldn't it work to put the client code and perl on the USB
keydrive and then every ten minutes, your system will get it from
there instead of from your hard drive? I realize the USB keydrive is
slower to load, but does that matter here?
Joe.
