Yep this is all fully taken into account for. If you looked at the boot
image on the site I posted before you will notice that everything gets
loaded to memory. I don't even have any of it compressed on the disk and
still have around 10 MB free.

When I researched this for a remote (inaccessible) site
802.11b repeater node project, it seemed that there was a 30k
read/writes lifecycle on compact flash.  Normally no issue,
but it seemed that everything needed to be moved into ramfs to
avoid wearing the device out with logging and swapping.  
[remote logging was not an option in that application -- 
overmaxing RAM to avoid a need for swap is always an option. 
these days]

Please keep us informed if the devices last, or use up the 
lifespan too soon with *nix.
