AFAIK My Fedora laptop starts up and runs just fine with the partitioned 
format that the OS decided upon when I installed it. I have two external 
HD's (USB - 1TB each) that holds "backups" of my system......for both 
the laptop...and the 2 desktops....(Linux CEntOS and LinuxMint). I don't 
think I have a need for SSD, at least until I'm ready to upgrade my 
laptop/desktops to the "next generation"....but thanks for the info. I 
will be sure to keep en eye on the SSD issue as I'm sure it's going to 
becomne thenext "standard" in the industry...
