perhaps i didn't explain. a regular distro doesn't make special provisions
to accomodate frequently written files (like in /var) which will eventually
kill flash memory. and live distros aren't generally designed to have
services and other system configs tweaked to run a specific way, at least
not that i'm aware. what i need is something that can be easily configured
like a regular distro but runs more or less read only like a live distro,
perhaps with /var mounted in a ramdisk or something.

i just ordered an inexpensive 1u server w/ 4x sata slots to be used as a
backup storage server. assuming it will boot from a usb device i'd
like to
set it up to boot linux via a smallish thumb drive, then create a four
disk
software raid device, mount it as /archive, and make it available via
samba,
nfs, and sshfs.
has anyone ever done a setup like this before, or have a suggestion for
setting up the usb OS?
