I've been thinking of making a (mostly) solid-state asterisk pbx.

Take either centos or some other distro, cut it down to bare minimum and 
put asterisk + AMP on. Something that could be put onto a usb2.0 flash 
stick, bootable.

Modern flash devices (usb, compactflash) have builtin wear leveling 
management and will last longer than you think:

Use ramdisk to store temporary files and flash to store permanent 
pbx configuration data, voicemail etc.

Done right, one could literally have a "pbx on a stick". Eg a 256mb, 512mb 
or 1gb sandisk usb2.0 dongle.

Anyone done something like this yet?
