Might be. I used none-industrial-grade CF cards, so the chance is of course
higher.

Thats fine. The machines that got replaced by the Alix board have been running
for almost 5 years, and I hope that I don't need to touch the boards for
several years.

That might depend... I have the theory that if you are sysadmin, the
machines "feel" when you are far away, and die exactly when you can't just
drop in and repair them :)
