Shudder! The idea of defragging an SSD is just painful. It would just disregard all that work that went into handling wear levelling and such. Plus, WHY? We defrag hard drives to make them more efficient. Properly aligned data requires less head movement to read a file. In a Solid state

I've had mixed Android devices and Xubuntu/Scientific Linux/Fedora machines. For synchronization of certain things I just use the google ecosystem as others have suggested. Contacts, email, etc. I run chrome on both of my android devices and occasionally my desktop to share bookmarks and such.

If you guys are doing a bunch of typing and are looking for wired ethernet capability, I'd suggest taking a look at the Asus Transformer series. with the keyboard dock they effectively become an Android netbook. Plus last time I checked they were well supported by the homebrew Android community.

There is a list of FIPS certified modules located here: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm There are fewer software options there than hardware options though. What is your actual security need? How/where do you intend the encrypted binaries be retrieved and run?
