If you want the ultimate in low writes, install your OS as a 'live' CD image. There are plenty of instructions on doing this with a thumb drive and they apply equally well to an SSD. You can have a separate partition for your data. I ran my network server like that for quite a while. Some distros have an option to save the current RAM drive state on shut down so you only write to the card on shutdown. Windows XP Embedded does something similar. Of course if you have a power failure you lose your recent data.
