Are there issues with running Linux from an SSD, that one needs to take into account when first installing/partitioning/whatever?
If you use a modern distro, it'll probably set everything up correctly, but things to watch out for:
* set the 'discard' mount flag if you're using ext4, or 'ssd' on btrfs. (This tells the SSD when you've deleted stuff to free up space, and allows it to work a lot more efficiently) * set 'relatime' mount flag as well; it helps performance on
[snip] Thanks for your help, but the SSD is now off the agenda, having found that the laptop has an IDE interface. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
