Linux has filesystems like /dev, /proc, and for your current dilemma, it has some "ramdisk" filesystems which are careful not to not make a duplicate copy of a file when you mmap it. So you can execute code right out of that filesystem without much extra overhead. If you don't want to keep a copy of the entire program in RAM (some of it might not be executed at all or only once), then NFS mount a remotely filesystem and run it from there. -- greg
