[opensuse] openSUSE on SSD?

31 May 2010

      Has anyone started seriously testing and tinkering with openSUSE on
SSD drives?

The prices are dropping and I'm thinking it's time to move over to SSD
for my main drive - I'm thinking I'll do this around the release of
11.3.  I've been doing some reading, and see a lot of conflicting
info... in one place I see notes that you must set noatime and you
cannot(should not) put the swap on the SSD drive.... among many
others... like running a cron job to clear or write memory on a
regular basis (something to that effect was discussed here, but
without any clear reason why you'd need to so this or what was
actually being doen.... at least not that I saw.

Most of the rest of the information is at least 2 years old and mostly
focuses on panic over the limited read/write cycles on SSDs... one
camp says no problems, just install as usual... the other says no
way.. disable this and that, and put home on a reg drive, and and and.

So.. what's the concensus here?  Just install as normal now?  Treat
the drives as a reg drive? Or handle with care and assume I'm
venturing into fail country?
