Debian Etch on The Self-Reliant Thin Client

I only wanted to spend $20 on the CF module, not $170 on a true solid-state hard drive (that's the going rate for 64 GB models, and I think the price is finally at a place where you'll start seeing them in more and more PCs). Since the wear-leveling algorithms for the CF card are probably not as friendly to regular PC use as is a dedicated flash-based hard drive, I'm backing up the /home folder from the CF to a USB flash drive with a script that uses rsync.
