Out of interest, why not use a CF card and a CF-IDE (Or CF-SATA)
adaptor? It's not like they're expensive. And with tiny power
consumption, flash speeds for ultra-fast booting (Especially with the
newer high-speed cards), sizes up to 32GB for storing your linux
system, and no noise, there's little in the way of downsides.

Oh yeah, and they don't soak up network bandwidth (needed for a busy
network streaming HD around) as they boot, navigate around menus, or
any other task.

Just make sure you set noatime, have your tmp (and /var/log) on a
ramdisk, or use a central syslog server, disable swap, and you're
golden.
