I have been using the release for an hour or so daily for several weeks.
I believe this problem is much less noticeable but not completely fixed,
and probably will blow up worse again with time. This past weekend I
noticed Evince wouldn't open. I cannot remember the last time I used
Evince on this machine, but a critical .so file was corrupted, and a
reinstall of the package made it work again. fsck has shown nothing, but
I suspect if I went through and tried to read all the files I would see
additional corruption.

Today I was looking around and found a discussion at
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=78939 which pointed me to Bug
387272, which is marked as a duplicate of Bug 445852 -- and the erratic
behavior of the SSD sounds like what I am seeing. I'm guessing that not
only does it occasionally freeze, but it's also corrupting the data. For
some reason the early installers triggered the bug more than the later
ones, but the symptoms persist.

BY THE WAY I have tried installing ureadahead as described at
http://undacuvabrutha.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/still-not-happy-with-the-
speed-of-your-boot-in-9-10/ but it made no difference in my boot time.
SO whatever problems ureadahead addresses it is NOT an improvement for
the kind of upgraded SSD I have in my EeePC 900.
