Hi List ! I was wondering if anyone had any experience of running FreeBSD out of Compact Flash ?
The HDD to Flash adapters are around 15GBP here and 1GB of Flash about 70GBP I know there are some projects around that use Compact Flash (like Openbrick) but I was thinking more in terms of running a stripped down desktop workstation. Does CF stand lots of read / write operations ? I read somewhere that it has quite low life expectancy ? My main idea is to use the Mini-ITX platform to build a tiny workstation that has a stripped down FreeBSD with something like Fluxbox and to get the whole thing to run from the CF using a USB Stick for storing work. Have I lost the plot here OR is this idea viable ? Any comments welcome :) http://www.flash-card-store.co.uk/acatalog/Boot_from_Flash2.html Custom PC North West Open Source Solutions http://www.cpcnw.co.uk _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
