Yep, me too. I've been running Asterisk on Soekris Net4801 and H-P T5700 booting from either CF or USB key for just over two years. No problems at all for a small office. In fact, its kinda a waste to have to buy 1 GB+ USB keys when it really needs < 64 MB. In fact, my Net4801 box is using a 64 MB CF card that I receyled from my first digital camera. That card must be 7 years old. Still works. Not much VM so not much wear.
