This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.

This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Does Your Primary Linux Desktop Have An HDD or SSD?
SSD, 64 GB on my ThinkPad 220 (customer loaner) Mint Olivia. 120 GB on Thinkpad Helix, Ubuntu.
WD Blacks on my Workstation, Slackware.
Other than boot times, I don't see anything special about them. I have not turned my workstation off in a couple of years, heck I can't remember the last time I even rebooted it.
He's not required to, he's only been asked to. I honestly thought your first post was sarcastic...since when is it a faux pas to ask somebody to clarify their opinion? If anybody were to post "xxx is the best distro" to a user asking which distro they should use, they would be immediately asked to clarify their definition of "best" and back up their claims with examples. Why is that a problem here?
You are completely correct, but it appears you are unfamiliar with what the post was referring to. That being, recent posts made by the person those words were directed at. So the post was sarcasm.
Distribution: Debian Wheezy, Jessie, Sid/Experimental, playing with LFS.

It is really difficult to convey fine nuances of language in visual text. Yes I was being sarcastic (maybe I shouldn't have been), if you need to know why just do a search on recent posts (@Randicus I know you know why but others may not then again they may not even care).
Blue ones are the best - all the others are rubbish
Not always. The WD Blue in my laptop (replaced by a Intel X25-V 40GB and later by a Samsung 840 Basic 120GB) was one of those with the annoying power-save behavior. We are still talking about SSDs and HDDs, are we? Because that is the topic of this thread.

I hope you talk about other brands of disks then, since this is the topic of the thread and there was already a moderator request to keep this thread on topic. This is of course true for anybody participating in this thread.

I was trying to demonstrate that a statement "XXX is best" without defining what context 'best' is used in is silly
Best is a comparative descriptor so to make sense you need to enumerate the list and describe the context in which the word best is used.
Get this thread back on topic. Enough semantics, the poster stated a opinion as to which he/she thought was better without supporting information from a personal point of view/opinion.
If you wish to carry on the debate then do so via PM. This a forum not a chat room;
This is *not* your average Linux forum. We are proud of the fact that despite of our growing numbers we continue to remain extremely friendly to both the newbie and the expert. When posting in the forum keep the following in mind:
Do not post if you do not have anything constructive to say in the post.
When posting in an existing thread, ensure that what you're posting is on-topic and relevant to the thread. If the content of your post will interfere with the current discussion, you should start a new thread.

I cannot use the PM system, because of the draconian restrictions on its use.
