Thats true but if you load the system onto a ram disk you only have to
read off the flashcard once at boot up......
another way is mount the filesystem etc. on it and point /tmp, /var and
swap onto a ram drive (corse why point swap to a ram drive LOL)
basicly, minimize the need for the system to read/write (mainly write)
to the flash card and you'll be fine.
google around for embedded, bsd, mini, etc.
