Ubuntu 9.10 on SSD
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been thinking about replacing the
| hard disk on my production notebook with a
| solid-state disk (SSD) for quite a while.
| So when I stumbled upon a good offer on
| Kingston 64GB SSDNow V series SSD I
| decided to take the plunge. 64GB is a far
| cry from the modest by today's standards
| 160GB hard disk on my notebook. But since
| I store all my files on a Bubba Two
| server, I rarely use more than 15-20GB
| anyway. The Kingston 64GB SSDNow V series
| SSD model is available in several
| versions, including a so-called notebook
| kit. It's slightly more expensive than the
| disk itself, but it's well worth a few
| extra bucks. The notebook kit includes
| hard disk cloning software (which is,
| obviously, of no use on Linux) and a hard
| disk enclosure. The latter is a very handy
| addition, as you can use it to convert the
| replaced hard disk into an external USB
| drive. So I pulled the old hard disk out
| of the notebook, inserted it into the
| enclosure, and moved files and profiles to
| the freshly installed SSD. The entire
| procedure of installing the SSD and moving
| the files took no longer than half an
| hour.

Ubuntu: Time for Another Reality Check
,----[ Quote ]
| So by some measures and opinions, Ubuntu
| and Canonical do not represent the best of
| the free-software world. But despite all
| this, Ubuntu has succeeded in an important
| area where every other distribution has
| failedâspecifically, in expanding the
| image of Linux and free software to
| unprecedented heights.

Which operating system is best for SSDs?
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Far, Mac OS X runs "a little faster than Vista" with an SSD
| drive, but Linux is "always faster" than Vista or Mac OS X - to the tune of 1
| percent to 2 percent - because like Windows 2000, "it never runs anything in
| the background."
