I was worried about the "wearout" of SSD in my Asus Eee 900, so I put
the following lines in my /etc/fstab
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
Possibly others can suggest improvements on this. Of course, I am
relying on RAM to hold
I assume by "thumbdrive" you mean one of the USB memory sticks which are
usually built using FLASH memory devices. You can google the FLASH memory
write limit which should answer your question.
