Best OS for the SSD

Hello everyone. I just bought my AAO and I wanted to know what is, in your opinion the best Operating System for the AAO´s with the SSDs. You see, I want an OS that doesnt kill the life with the SSD with all the random writing or if theres a OS that can be easily customized to accomodate this particular problem. Thanks!

 

xp for me...

Use fat32 as filesystem for faster response

The best OS for me is Fedora. But if you want one with minimal writes to the SSD, try Puppy. When you install it, there are several options, including one to install on flash drive. I believe the whole OS is loaded to RAM at boot time and doesn't write to disk until you save your session at logout time. As for me, I've made a few tweaks found on these forums to cut back some of the writing to SSD, most notably using ext2 instead of ext3 and using tmpfs for temp and /var/log.

But honestly, I'm not too worried about the SSD's lifespan. I figure it will last at least 3 or 4 years and by then these netbooks will be so much better and cheaper I'll just buy a new one rather than replace the SSD.

 

Hmmm...

I guess I´ll murder the SSD then. Figure it´ll last at least a year and a half on heavy usage. My Acer was dirt cheap ($250 on NewEgg.com), so I don´t see why I shouldn´t sqeeze the money spent on it. Besides I also have a spare 1.8¨ Hitachi PATA to mod it later. I just need to get some sort of Flip Zif cable...whatever that means.
