It appears to me that 2 GiB seems not enough room for a full DE. Besides,
there are flash memory inherent write limits, that you will reach very
quickly if you plan to give it a normal use.
I would consider using an external USB hard disk (if space/weight is a
concern, there are very compact devices available in the market), instead
of a flash based one which means more room for your system, no write
cycle limits and more speed :-)
