I haven't tried FreeBSD, but it's on my TODO list.

Good luck with that

I'm looking for some advice on setting up LVM on SSD + HDD. can I setup LVM only on /Home or does it have to be everything? Shoudl I enable TRIM support or not? Debian wiki is short on LVM info.

Not sure on the LVM question, but the answer for enabling TRIM is "NO"!

EDITED/CORRECTED 20150329

Since 2011 Trim has been enabled in the Linux Kernel.  It is however, NOT optimized for whatever reason.  My advice in this 'HowTo' posted at, "How To: SSD + TRIM + Linux

Thanks Jedi I'm loading into to ram also which certainly helps making this more snappy.

Single drive ZFS on a GPT disk, is by far, faster and more complex than ext3/4. No 2tb limit, no 4 primary partitions crap limit either. Want me to go on? 

[ozitraveller]

I had already decided to use gpt rather than msdos. No, no need thanks Dizzie.

[dizzie]

Let me know if you need help buddy

I have a box I need to rebuild, so I see a project coming up !

Thanks Dizzie I'll let you know how I go.

ZFS on Linux is still having "child diseases" So be careful 

[ozitraveller]

Thanks Dizzie!

I might wait until they get inoculated then!

[dizzie]

Install FreeBSD

I'll see what I can do over the weekend. I have plenty of space for another vm!

EDIT:
Ok I'm intrigued, instructions please.
