Solid-State Drives From a Developer's Perspective
,----[ Quote ]
| After locking down the X25-M in my
| computer's drive bay chassis, I turned on
| the computer with an expectation that
| something different should happen. Of
| course, nothing out of the ordinary
| occurred beyond the BIOS recognizing that
| my primary hard-drive capacity had changed
| and the fact that no operating system
| booted. As such, I proceeded with a fresh
| install of Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit desktop
| edition and was once again stunned how
| quickly the installation occurred compared
| to my older hard drive install experiences.
| This result greatly raised my expectation
| for OS boot times and I was not
| disappointed. Because the X25-M has
| virtually no access time and significantly
| faster read and write times, what normally
| took nearly a half hour was completed in
| roughly two-thirds the time.

What is this Linux thingy and why should I care?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is a free operating system just like
| Windows or Mac OS. The great thing about
| Linux is that it is completely free to
| download and use. I am shocked when I see
| people going into computer stores and
| paying hundreds of dollars for Windows.
| Most people do not know about Linux because
| there is no single company behind the
| project. It is a community effort and many
| individuals, companies and organizations
| are involved to bring you this amazing OS.

How Cheap Could Computing Get: Free? NComputing Thinks So
,----[ Quote ]
| Ncomputing makes powerful chips that make
| thin clients work: Essentially turning a
| keyboard, mouse, monitor and small box of
| electronics into a fully-functioning
| powerful Windows or Linux PC, with its real
| complex "guts" in a different location
| accessed over a network, and serving up
| desktops to many different users.

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."
