[ale] Linux alternative recommendation ?

[Ron Frazier]

You're certainly welcome.  Glad to help.  However, on this issue, I 
can't help.  I don't know about the effects of x-rays on flash memory.  
I haven't flown since the 09/11/01 and probably a while before that.  
Both the memory technology and the x-ray technology have changed a lot.  
You'll have to do other research on this.  One person posting in this 
thread thought it was a problem, and another thought it wasn't.  If you 
find anything conclusive, post it here.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
