this German article says that AXFS will be available up from kernel 2.6.28. This is a new file system named for its main future: Advanced Execute in Place Filesystem. This means the CPU can execute stuff from the ssd without loading it to ram, first. As far as I understand there is an upside. It is a read only file system you need to create for every program. I am not the geek in that but I wanted to mention it. Oh and it does not work if you connect your ssd by ata or usb. http://www.pro-linux.de/news/2008/13093.html kh
