Not a good idea... CF isn't meant for constant re-writes... you'd have to run
a special filesystem like JFFS that none of the major linux distributions
know how to do as an install... CF sized harddisks aren't much better - they
aren't meant to run 24/7 and so on...
If you can at all efford it, you should always have a set of mirrored OS disks
and then do raid 0+1 or 5, depending on your space/speed/redundancy needs,
for the data.
