Not sure how this works if you only have an SSD...

Hmm ... I didn’t realize that modern SSDs still suffered the life-limited writes.

Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, but the data I've seen is that SSD's are not as fast as spinning disk drives (SDD's).
I would think that by their very nature, seek-time would be dramatically reduced on SSD's. SSD's would be much prefereable as there are no moving parts to wear out, no head crashes, smaller footprint, consume less wattage, etc. You could probably even make them hot swappable (ala USB thumb-drives, except as a direct plugin to the HD bus, not onto the USB).
So what is it? Bus-speed? If so, why would SSD's have less bus bandwidth than an SDD?

The comments under that article are worth reading — some good insights about file systems.

Had a really good experience installing Ubuntu (
"Easy Peasy") on the EEE 701 from a flash drive.
I think the version is still Intrepid, not Jaunty.

BFL. Like the ram disk /tmp thing. Would make it operate more like Solaris boxes.

Ah, yes.
I run Slackware (Linux) on an embedded VIA Eden 400/667 MHz computer that controls my pellet stove.
It uses a CompactFlash card, so I did the first two of these tweaks. (as well as disabling logging)
