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
