customized?  how?

compact flash has internal wear-leveling, which helps make sure
it all wears out at once.

other than that, i wouldn't worry about it.  maybe move some very
dynamic things thing in /var (e.g., /var/run, and /var/log if you're
very brave ;-) to ramdisk, but other than that?

(if you have real suggestions, i'm interested, since i just
switched to bigger CF cards on a couple of thin-client machines
in my home, which lets me run "standard" distributions rather
than the stripped/customized stuff i was running before.)
