The same here - I use a Sandisk Compact Flash with 8GB on my Thinkpad. The thing runs the whole day and I didnt notice any failure (using NetBSD). With a simple adapter card it formats and works like an ata-disk. Reading is quite fast! A good combination for stationary computers might be to install FreeBSD and keep the 'busy & writing' like /home, /var and /tmp on a traditional harddisk (writing is much faster there). The other more static stuff like kernel, /usr, /etc, /dev and so on can be left on the Flash-card. Will be great for booting and opening larger programs.
