Does a SSD drive need a special filesystem and/

No, it's configured exactly like a magnetic hard drive would be.
Except if you're using BTRFS, like on the Meego, which is optimized for SSDs:

Is Btrfs optimized for SSD?
There are some optimizations for SSD drives, and you can enable them
by mounting with -o ssd. As of 2.6.31-rc1, this mount option will be
enabled if Btrfs is able to detect non-rotating storage. SSD is going
to be a big part of future storage, and the Btrfs developers plan on
tuning for it heavily.
