This is an interesting article by Ferdinand Thommes (devil), the main guy at siduction Linux (http://news.siduction.org/), my personal favorite Debian-based (Sid) distro. Basically, now that SSDs have been around for a while, we've learned a bit more about how they work, and the setup concepts are changing; most notably, the use of the 'discard' option in fstab.

After a month of experimentation and discussion, we can announce that the *OFFICIAL* IRC channel for Gamers On Linux is at:
irc.oftc.net
#GamersOnLinux
Aremis has pitched in and will help supervise the channel, I'll be in there, and anyone else who wants to can drop by and have a bit of a chat with us. Beware of the time zones and don't get frustrated, thinking we are ignoring you: you might not get an answer right away until we have more participants lurking around. I'm in GMT +7, and...

When the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) puts to sea later this year, it will be different from any other ship in the Navy's fleet in many ways. The $3.5 billon ship is designed for stealth, survivability, and firepower, and it's packed with advanced technology. And at the heart of its operations is a virtual data center powered by off-the-shelf server hardware, various flavors of Linux...

Big, *big* news here, people...this could be a big step in the right direction to get Nouveau on track, and getting a *proper* open-source driver written for Nvidia GPUs. Nouveau shows promise, but for 3D, it simply isn't viable.
