I've been using on my Netbook for quite some time and so
far no
issues. My kids even helped "test" it. I'm using a striped
LVM across
the internal 4GB SSD and a 4GB SD card and my littlest
"pushed" the SD
card and popped it out. I plugged it back in and rebooted
and it came
back up clean as far as I can tell.
I was fortunate with the EeePC 900 I bought used off eBay. It was advertised with a 4GB
SSD only, and I was agonizing over how best to install a usable system for someone with no
computer savvy. However, in the course of testing it, I discovered it had a 16GB SSD,
too. The seller must not have known. It had the original Xandros on it, and the 16GB
doesn't show. I found it by accident when booting TinyCore Linux from a USB drive.
In any case, I ended up having more than enough room. I decided to put / on the 4GB drive
and /home and swap on the 16.
Turned into a nice little machine, but it took me about 4 or 5 weeks, off and on, to set
it up.
