I use no swap on my net5501 and just replaced the original CF card with an industrial grade CF with TBW (total bytes written) of 640 TB. That should be more than adequate (the box will be replaced before the CF card wears out). I had to set the Soekris FLASH parameter to Secondary in the bootloader to make this CF (ATP 8 GB) work. -jm
