1 hi, i just booted my "new" system. migration using rsync was smooth. i had
2 to fight a little with grub2 and gpt, but now it seems everything is
3 working fine.

5 the system has been up just a few minutes, so i haven't had time to do
6 much. but i tried eix-sync and it seemed to me it went much faster. also
7 libreoffice opened in i think less than 2 seconds, instead of several
8 seconds like in my old HDD (a WD green, not particularly fast...).

10 so, all in all i'd venture that yes, the improvement is noticeable.

19 yeah, that's the idea. for a moment i considered doing the opposite:
20 leaving my home in its current HDD, and mount the SSD partition under
21 /home for some special purposes. but i think the other way around is
22 a better idea.

24 best,
