I have has an OCZ-VERTEX3 as my primary drive for about a year now, and 
it has been awesome.

What was most impressive was installing some various virtual machines 
for work testing.

The first time I saw my new Fedora 17 VM boot in less than 3 seconds, I 
knew I had a winner. :)  And when it was shut down, it literally 
'blinked' off.  It was amazing.

I highly recommend a SSD for Linux.  The mount command is generally 
smart enough to select what needs to be done.

/etc/fstab says:

UUID=32ce7d57-5c81-4e4f-9bbb-91e5cde5db3b / ext4    defaults        1 1

but it actually mounts with:

(rw,relatime,data=ordered)

Go for it!
