I got a System 76 notebook with an SSD last summer, and I couldn't 
believe how fast it was, especially for disk-intensive activities like 
"sudo yum update". Once the packages are downloaded, it's incredible how 
fast it is. The other place it makes a huge difference is for compiling. 
Lots of disk reads and writes there.
