If I am not able to get winblows to install, I have no issue with ubuntu on
that machine. These are failed hackintosh boxes from white box systems or
corporate toss away. AMD or intel, ubuntu does not care what the audio or
video card is, what sort of usb or firewire, wifi o
I have to say that Windows 7 has installed flawlessly whenever I've
tried it, which has only been a few times. It's the dozens of
update/reboot cycles post-install that are the pain.
Ubuntu is a commercially-sponsored distribution has as a primary goal
the creation of an easy-to-use Linux desktop

After reading a lot of reviews on Newegg, I'm leaning towards shelling out
the extra $50 for Intel over OCZ, not only because it sounds like you get
what you pay for in reliability, but also because the
I have found ubuntu to be far and away the easiest to install on multiple
strange hardware. No idea why. Win7 is garbage unless you have piles of oem
cd with drivers. Same with vista.Bound to be open source support for SSD.

There is a protocol that aligns the block size used by the OS with the
block size used by the drive. This can minimize writes depending on
the application.

All it says is for the OCZ drive I linked to is MBTF 2 million hours.
I wondered how that compared to a modern (conventional) hard drive, so
I looked at spec pages
How do I determine the rated life span?
Ideally it's in the spec sheet.

I am deploying a 200TB IBM SAN (XIV) this week that uses around 3TBs of SSDs
for caching. Looking forward to putting this baby into service... we have a
bunch of ESX boxes that I want to expand, along with increasing the size of the
disk pool for our Tivoli storage library.

Keep in mind that all SSD's have limited write cycles and will
eventually wear out. Writes progressively slow down as you reach it's
end of life.
A company I once worked for switched their BSD-based product to
SSD's for 'reliability'. The failures, infrequent before than,
