(Broke the thread but my email archive is out of reach at the moment) To offer a tidbit from the IPCop email list to our discussions on using a CF card instead of a hard drive: I stated that: "I would not be too surprised if someone can claim running a Linux box on a recent consumer grade CF for quite some time." (See http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/message/20060505.012233.ffbe1662.en.html) Here is a posting from a user that has been running an IPCop firewall on a CF card for 10 months. So, there you are. Flash memory is only getting better and better. Alan From: Trevor Forbes To: IpCop List Subject: Re: [IPCop-user] Compact Flash Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 21:43:36 +0930 I have been using a 1G 12MB/sec CF disk for just over 10 months and it works like a dream -- no noise and no problems so far. I wanted the IPCOP firewall to be silent so the CF disk meets my needs. Its a normal hard drive install with no mods and I have the proxy running also..
