I'm running Freevo from a 1GB compact flash card. I have an epia me6000 that runs Debian. The epia has mpeg decoding, which is very nice. I nfs mount the freevo cache, freevo log and my media for playback. I've also disabled most of the logging to save on writes. The cf card hasn't failed in 3 years, so I'm happy. The cf card is half full (516MB). Totally silent. The next step is to eliminate X (using framebuffer) and net boot the whole system.
