What is the actual reason why flash is not sutiable for regular use?
I still haven't got the hang of why people embrace flash memory while its been proved to be short lifespanned. Why is it reliable, even more than HDDs when it is vulnerable to usage? And why are things like the XO laptop and the EEE PC popular when they have short lifespanned Drives? Please clear these rather n00bish doubt of mine.

Actually, a CD/DVD RW gives 1000 write cycles, a DVD-RAM 10000 cycles, and a pendrive 100000 or 1000000 cycles, I forgot which.Basically flash drives r based on the EEPROM technique. So every time u write the area is first erased and then written upon. Since memory is composed of transistors the transistors wear out due to this frequent read and write operations.
Basically a medium quality flash drive can give u few thousands of read and write cycle. The device would start performing slower as it ages and finally fail.
OK, but what about CD-RWs and DVD+RWs ?read 1st post
I don't want live distros, but distros installed on a disc. they need to be able to save stuff to the disc.No problem.
as far as I remember, its definitely possible and Dyne:Bolic is an example.not possible
