Extending the Life of SD Card in Linux

Around the time I was looking at RPi power save, I was also checking into how to mitigate the effects of regular writes to the cheap SD card.  (Well, not so cheap, since I buy Samsung NAND.)  One link I found had references to several other sites.  The answer on the StackExchange page was pretty useful.

Amusingly enough, I left the HomeGenie event stream enabled for debug, which was generating output every 30 seconds...for at least a year.  I'd imagine the card is pretty well worn by now.
