after a while living with ubuntu, i'm moving back to fedora as of F18, and would like some advice. i have an ASUS G74S with twin 750G drives, but i want to replace the boot drive with an SSD, and install F18 in such a way as to maximize the benefit of the SSD for booting and (mostly) R/O storage. a lot of my time will be spent doing lengthy compiles (kernel, openembedded), so in addition to system content on the SSD, i'll want to keep all of my source there as well, while the build directories will be on the regular drive. is there a recommendation for installing F18 in terms of separating what's appropriate for the SSD versus what isn't? most of that is fairly obvious, just wondering if anyone wrote up something about their experience doing just that and how well it worked for them. thanks. rday
I have has an OCZ-VERTEX3 as my primary drive for about a year now, and it has been awesome.
What was most impressive was installing some various virtual machines for work testing.
The first time I saw my new Fedora 17 VM boot in less than 3 seconds, I knew I had a winner. :) And when it was shut down, it literally 'blinked' off. It was amazing.
I highly recommend a SSD for Linux. The mount command is generally smart enough to select what needs to be done.
