the experimental development branch -HEAD, it _might_ happen that
the system doesn't even compile, but updated 30 minutes after
that "accident", it runs fine again. :-)
And finally unless doing tests or using private not-really-important
computer, don't just install newest FreeBSD because it's out.
I - and lot of others - still use 8.* for production while 9.* is out
already for some time.
Anyway i think that "bleeding edge" -HEAD release is still more stable
than "stable" linux kernel.
q) I would assume UFS with J+SU is "fast enough" for a laptop?
I think so. For a laptop, you _might_ consider adding encryption.
Just in case. You never know.
for a server - you MUST do this :)
q) The second laptop has an SSD, would UFS with/without J and
with/without SU or ZFS make more sense for it?
There are several parameters that you can tweak (see "man tunefs"),
I would suggest a single partition spanning the whole SSD, and
journaling would not be contraproductive.
s/would not/would/
i assume this as mistake. do not journal on SSD. it increases amount of
writes, and fsck is quick anyway.
do not forget of -t option with newfs (TRIM enable)
