Googling for anything to do with Ubuntu is not the issue, the issue is Linux and SSD. Given the issue about a special command that needs to be issues by the OS (*), it all depends on which version of Linux has that. I assume 3.6 and later have it as there are happily working Linux Ultrabooks out there, so Linux and SSD work, Intel demands it. The fact that you are on 10.10 currently is a potential issue, as the Linux support may not have been smoothed out by then. > With Windows 7, it's easy. Yes. End of story. Windows, delete it. End of Story. (*) SSD should have all the flashing management algorithms built in to the firmware, the OS should not be able to distinguish an SSD from a random access sequence of bytes accessed as a SATA device. We were using flash devices in 2004 when all this was already sorted. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
