Debian GNU/Linux is the computer operating system that I use when I get to choose. It's a version of the GNU/Linux operating system that's developed cooperatively by people around the globe. It's very stable, very high-quality, and you can decide for yourself whether you want older, more proven software, or newer software, or bleeding-edge software. Freedom and control. Sweeeet.

Line: 49 to 49

Make sure that you've got the devices that you need for your USB bus: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html . I needed uhci_hcd.

reducing disk I/O

quote from the article:

Set the spin down time for the hard drive using sdparm.
Use noatime on all mounted disks.
Use ext2, not ext3. (maybe that is not necessary, Ill try with ext3 some time)
Run syslogd with -m 0 to get rid of the 20-minutes --MARK-- entries. (For debian, set it in /etc/init.d/sysklogd)
Of course, only run stuff you actaully need
And the final step, just figured out: Mount /var/run on a tmpfs. Daemons like openvpn seem to write there on regular intervals, so keep these away from the hard drive.
