Hi All,

I just got my hands on a Lenovo X300. It has a solid state driver at
64GB instead of a conventional HD. Of course I'd like to get opensuse up
and running on the laptop. I read somewhere that you should not use a
SWAP partition to extend the lifetime of the solid state drive. Anyone
has any idea if this is true for the drive included in the x300. Also
pointers to get the x300 working smooth would be appreciated?

Thanks

Flash memory can be rewritten a finite number of times. If you have
enough RAM, you should not need to swap anyway - a normal system with
sufficient resources does not swap.
