can I make a reset-at-will box?

Is is possible to configure FC4 in such a way that I can press the reset
button at will, or rudely turn off the power, and not have to care in
the slightest about the file system being upset?

Thinking of leaving a box at the mercy of the completely inept, here.
But I see no reason, now, that we should have to put up with complicated
shutdown procedures.  My old Amiga could be turned off or reset at will,
so long as I didn't interrupt a write, and since ALL writes were
completely under my control, that was easy (e.g. quit the word
processor, or simply do nothing with it, then switch off or reboot).

I can think of a few obvious things, like disabling servers, logging,
and databasing of drive contents.  That should prevent writes happening
at an inopportune moment.  Any other ideas?
