Unless you have a requirement of fast boot times, an SSD is overkill in<br>
every way IMO.<br>

FWIW my frontends are all diskless using LTSP running mythfrontend as a localapp. Not for the faint hearted but can be done, plus has the side benefits of quietness/coolness plus making maintenance of all the frontends very easy.</p>
</blockquote></div><div class="gmail_extra">if you are really after a diskless frontend i would check out the minimyth project (<a href="http://www.minimyth.org/">http://www.minimyth.org/</a>). i use minimyth on all my ion-based frontends (i have a mixture of ion1 and ion2 around the house) and it is realtively painless to setup. and the advantage is that you have a frontend with no local storage whatsoever (other than ram). minimyth also makes it easy to create a ram-based or nfs-based root filesystem so there is some flexability there as well. i went the ram-based route and it works perfectly!</div>
