Installing Xubuntu on an SSD: What do I need to know and/or do?

There is a lot of advice on SSDs & linux, but most of it is at least a few years old. I'd like to get some up-to-date advice on using Linux (specifically Xubuntu) with SSDs.

• Do I need to do a special install?


• Do I need to change any system settings (eg: TRIM)?


• Do I need to change my usage / behaviour?

Thanks!

Linode users - a quick question

I am considering using Linode, but I can't tell from their website whether it is possible to save the state of your Linode node, shut it down and restart it from where you left off. AWS can do this with EBS-backed instances, but AWS is a pain to use. I would like to be able to keep a Linux cloud instance and start and stop it as needed. I would use it only for development work, so it doesn't need to be up all the time.
