SSDs are available for some time now. I had to replace my good old desktop with a newer one because the motherboard started to fail intermittently. I decided to include a 120GB SSD in my new system and spent some time to find out what I have to do in order to increase the lifetime of my SSD. SSDs deliver data very fast on read. On write it takes longer and unfortunately the number of writes is limited. That's why the number or writes to the SSD should be reduced as far as it is possible. On the following pages I describe in detail which changes I did on my Linux Mint 13 and they should also apply on other Linux distributions.

Applications are to process csv files, log files or word frequency analysis and much more. recently I had a similar problem with text files which I solved using most of the tools mentioned in the article. But I was suprosed to read that the tools are much more powerful when you use special parameters. It's a good idea to read the man pages of the tools. On following pages I summarized all tools together with their most powerful parameters.

I manage my code on a local git repository on my desktop. But I want to access the git repository also from my local laptop or via VPN from remote.

There are a lot of articles in the net how to achieve this. Finally I managed to find my way to get it done. It's not difficult but you have to know what you have to do.
