No, a Linux toaster would cook the bread to a nice golden brown.
Well, the first slice anyways. The next one would be a dark crisp. You'd try to adjust the toaster, but with 37 switches, a few analog dials, at least 7 gauges, an LCD panel with random letters and numbers on it, and several panels of blinking lights later, you'd get frustrated and just eat the burnt bread.
16GB of ram is minimum for a workstation where I work.
Servers have 64GB+ unless they are heavily used, then we usually just buy what ever the maximum amount of ram is, usually 128GB or 256GB.
but still, those are handling multi-terabyte databases and wouldn't lend themselves to being stored in ram easily. I get your point though. If you have a tiny 4GB database, this would probably speed up your access time exponentially. A ram disk is a better and more expandable option if you can work out the power loss issue.
What's the big deal? I would rather type those keys in because they are closer to the home row. Having to look at the keyboard to make sure i click the right function key is a hassle. They move around on every keyboard anyways.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
