I will be installing 512MB of ram. I don't plan on a swap file. I heard you can mount a drive with noatime as a parameter to avoid it writing to the flash every time a file is accessed. DSL from what I hear runs totaly in a ramdisk so that should help extend the life.
However, I'm new to DSL and I'm having issues on how I would add new software to the distribution.
Do you think I should go with a straight install instead of having it run in ramdisk? Do you think the noatime option as well as not having a swap file will be sufficient for 5 to 10 years of life in the stick?
