Good day,...
Since my main pc is laptop i need something that will be as faill proof as
posible.
so i thought maybe to use flash drive as main drive and forget the swap or
what ever the problem rises how ?
There are a number of ways to help you work with flash. But I'm not sure
you'll end up with a system that is over-all more reliable than a
journled file system.
I'm not sure but most of todaies flash drive has a lifetime for 50K write
per bit (not sure since i read about 100K somewhere) so it is really bad
idea to use flash as swap or /var/log etc.
the main question is how to set my favorite flavor (sid , sorry etch but i
don't love backports.. ) to work with as less as possible writes?
Ideas ? guides ? or what ever ...

</To understend how to start>
but who can i disable writes without damaging my system i guess linked tmp
with ramdisk is a start but i need more ideas .
Thank you in advance.
debian-live and such use usnionfs (or actually: aufs) to uinion-mount a
ramdisk (for writing) on top of the DOK / CD (read-only). But if the
power goes down suddenly, then bye-bye changes.
