It'll only be a problem if you're planning to use a swap file or do frequent 
writes (compiling programs, etc).  Solid state devices really aren't great if 
your going to do heavy writing because they will fry eventually.  Under normal 
usage this could be years, but with heavy daily use it could be months.

Subject: [CentOS] Install on a usb flash drive


I all,
I was thinking about installing centos on a usb flash drive. Perhaps a 4GIG.
I dont need X or anything on this drive so installing  should fit just fine.

Are there boot issues with these flash drives? I'll be using a newer
motherboard
so the motherboard should be able to boot USB.

Does this work? Have others done anything with flash drives? I am
wanting this
flash drive to be the ONLY drive in the computer.
Kind of a dedicated machine running multiple RS232 multiport cards.

Thanks,

Jerry
