    Serious question with 1GB L3 isn't it theoretically possible to boot a full Linux without ram?

    Edit: dug in it, no, because cache isn't addressable and it's directly managed by the cpu.

      I used to use a full Slackware Linux distribution with X-Windows on a 486 clone with 4 Megabytes of RAM.
