[conspire] disk media recommendation for server

[Calvin Wong]

i just ordered a sheeva plug few weeks ago (still waiting due to back order)
it comes with a built-in sd card slot and 1 usb port. i am thinking about
installing the os on the sd card instead of external usb drive.

are sd cards reliable enough to have an os  (server) installed on? or i should
just use the sd card slot as backup partition?

also are there any usb sound cards that works with linux? debian.
i have a hy554 3d usb sound card

but i think its either defective or doesn't work on linux.
so far it has not work on linux/windows/anything. just errors

please help out, i'll probably stop by cabal meeting one of these saturdays
once the thing gets here.. can't wait.
