Quote from Bruce Ferrel: "There are actually a couple of ways around the SD wear issue, even though people seem to dearly LOVE SSDs with the exact same issue;
1.) Use a USB drive. 2.) Somewhat more esoteric, PXE boot and run from an NFS image." [/Quote] You are right, people love SD Cards, not for their limitations, but for their great convenience. A tiny SD Card can hold gigabytes of files and it fits neatly in the the Raspberry Pi itself. No need of combersome USB external drives dangling around, and more importantly, no need of extra expenses. Remember, money makes a lot of sense to many people, and I dare say, a lot of people do not have much to spare. Quote from Simon Hobson: Ah yes, to think that many of us routinely carry around in our pockets more storage, RAM, and CPU capacity than we could have dreamed of having access to back when I got into IT.

Today, thanks to great people working in medicine, we have no idea of these terrible experiences. Progress is nice when done properly. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
