I've been thinking of using one of these for a home theater head unit.

Was planning to configure it with the following:
Dual 4gig compact flash cards w/IDE adapters (about $50/each)
Re-use old 3Ware dual port IDE card to make this a bootable RAID0
array (for speed)
Track down ipcop. It's a firewall package, and I believe there is
advice about using CF as disk.
I think there's a limit to how many times you can write to it, and
it might bite you.
I prefer the idea of a notepad drive; faster and more duable.
Limited writes isn't an issue here since the only writes to the media
will be the OS, applications, and occasional updates. The media store
Directories? Where are /var/{tmp,run,lock} /tmp?
is on a separate machine. /var and swap are on the notebook drive.
The idea is to use the flash so that it wakes up relatively quickly,
makes little noise, and generates little heat.
Can you not read? The answer was in the message you quoted.
Don't assume, do your research.
btw Don't assume that flash is faster than a real drive.
Now you're just being argumentative. Are we done here or did you have
some additional irrelevant comments to make?
Best regards,
