Wikipedia claims that CF cards do internal wear leveling, which

There are a couple of flash-storage-oriented filesystems available
for Linux. JFFS2 is the only one I'm familiar with, and it does
primitive write-cycle leveling. If I remember right, it does this
mostly by writing out dirty pages to a new block rather than updating
the existing block.

That however, has one problem: it makes the setup
a lot more special.
With the above steps, you can just run it like any other Linux setup.
Fine; would you run such as setup as a mailserver? Are there Linuces
that will perform write-cycle leveling? If I only need a few hundred
MB to operate, I can throw in a 32GB CF card and be very happy if the
system performs leveling.
