Ken, Looking at df I see that / and /usr consume only about 30 M. With the main distribution files in /usr the only writing will be for upgrade patches so there's plenty of room on it. Yes, the partitions with more writes, /usr/local, /opt, /home, /tmp, and /var will go on the huge (for me) 750G HHDD. The existing drive is 500G and I use only a portion of it. However, I'm collecting envirionmental data wherever I can so the HDD room will be handy. As an interesting (to me, at least) aside, a thread or two suggested that SSDs need firmware updates and not all can be updaged within linux. The one I have but never used is about 4 years old. Looking at SSD reviews showed Samsung, Crucial, and Kingston, but no OCZ. So, I just ordered a Samsung 250G SSD, probably for less than I paid for the OCZ 60G drive in 2011. > Just my $0.02. Always worth the price, Ken. Thanks very much, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
