AVR-Chat

I have been following the "where has everyone gone thread" with so 
empathy.  I too have several headaches with studio 6  as I seldom can 
get it to start in compile mode. Using add ons seems to change the whole 
environment.

Several have noted activity with other platforms, namely ARM systems.  
One thing we have noted with Raspberry PIs is that the operating system 
(LINUX of some sort) uses a lost of file writing and reading. As a 
result SD cards don't last very long.

Does anyone have a solution or explanation for this problem?

Also, any good suggestions for AVR ARM  based boards?
