The advantage of removable media is that you can make it read only. Which adds an extra layer of security. I am not that familiar with disk on a chip, so perhaps you could make the filesystem read only when it boots up. Any other suggestions? Also, I don't have a clear idea of which motherboards work well with the 2.4.1x kernels. I am looking for inexpensive motherboards and reliable. Cheers, Randall
