[gentoo-user] gentoo on ssds? intel anyone?

["Stefan G. Weichinger" <lists@xunil.at>]

Greets, gentoo-users,
I hope not to bring up some boring ricer-topic ;-)

I am thinking of getting one of those shiny new SSDs for my main
workstation. Not that I really *need* it, my box is performing well, I
admit that I am curious and somehow childish ... some way of getting
myself a christmas present or something like that ...

anyway

Although I read of Intel's various firmware-problems with their SSDs, I
tend to buy one of their 80GB X25-M G2 Postville SSDs.

I definitely *know* that I will shake my head a few months later at how
I could spend that much money for those few and slow gigs of ssd ... but
... (think 100$ for 128MB usb-stick ... you know ...)

I think of using that ssd for my gentoo-os-partition(s) and I wonder if
one of you is already doing that. And I would like to hear of any
problems/blockers/sensations this brings.

Thanks for any infos, I'd be happy to hear whatever your experience is ...

Stefan
