/var is the directory that sees a lot of activity (logs, mail spool etc)
 followed by /tmp

You will cut down on usage simply by using a non-journaled file system
like ext2.  You should also not use a swap file or partition on the
flash media.

There are a couple of ways of approaching this problem, depending on how
you will be using it.  Your best bet is to make a live USB install that
has a file for persistent storage.

This is a good start:

You may be able to adapt the instructions to 64Studio or upgrade Ubuntu
8.04 to 64Studio.
