[kwlug-disc] Laptop with 24GB Samsung i100 chip + HDD

[Paul Nijjar]

If the person getting this laptop has good computer skills and is
capable of taking backups, then I would naturally consider putting
/home there. You might need a second folder on the big drives for big
files (videos, podcasts). 

Another idea might be /usr, which on most distros will be well under
24GB, and will not change much.
