This still doesn't avoid problems, but it improves your odds. If you have good long-term results with the Mainstream SSD, then that is good info to have.
With the ext3 fs, especially, you don't have to worry much about CPU crashes messing up the fs. So, the rest of the system is expendable, although you want it to just work and not have to mess with it. But, the contents of the disk represent a fair bit of work, so you don't want to lose that. > Too many writes is not an issue for the application that I have in > mind (nameserver, CVS, DHCP).

My server actually logs a LOT of crap that I rarely look at. It can be handy for unwinding break-in attempts and the like, however.
