I just read several makers pâges about this, and see that wear
levelling is greanted years life time for moderate write usage (~3/day)
use as standard drive do much more writes than this.
I have I believe Puppy Linux (a very nice distribution made specifically for
this purpose) on a flash drive. When it loads, it reads once and loads
everything including the filesystem into RAM. It doesn't do anything to the
drive until you shut down (even if you install something), at which point it
writes back to it. Of course, you're limited to the amount of RAM on the
machine for how much space you can use, but ideally you won't install large
programs. The software included in the distribution is chosen for size and
speed and should be all you need unless you're confident enough about the
amount of RAM on the machines on which you'll use it and want to install
something like openoffice.org. I believe its default wm is icewm (it's been a
while since I've booted from it) and it provides icons on the desktop via
another program (ROX-filer, perhaps). There is a pup package that gives you
KDE, but again, you'll be limited to machines with a lot of RAM.
