   In the 486 aera i was on OS/2 until P1/133, then i had an easy migration to   
   Debian. I used squish/2 before and it was easy to transfer the config to hpt.

   Good decision. I had three USB sticks that died without any warning. My node   
   system used LVM to bundle several disks into one volume. I bought a new disc   
   every year until i had 4 of them ready for raid. The main advantage of   
   non-raid LVM is the ability to merge all disks into a big one and reduce the   
   size of the volume group to remove a disk.   
      
   I still have the idea to plug two dual sd-card readers (SD + micro-SD) into   
   the pi and build a raid on four sd-cards or sd-card/usbstick combinations. But   
   i don't know what performance the pi would do with that. It could be a way to   
   get the most "wear" out of the sd or sticks.   
      
   Regards
