I've acquired an Asus EEE PC that had windows XP on it. It has two SSD's, a 4 gig and an 8 gig and 1GB ram
What I'm thinking of doing is partitioning as follows:
4GB SSD: /boot 250mb / (root) whats left
8GB SSD /usr
16GB SD card (class 6) swap 2GB /home whats left
Partly a matter of taste, but I think you may be overcomplicating the setup.
I would put all of / (i.e. including /boot and /usr) on the 4 Gig SSD and /home on the 8 Gig SSD. If you are concerned about wear then you could put a 1 or 2 Gig partition for /var on the 8 Gig SSD and use the rest for /home - personally I wouldn't bother - nor would I bother with a swap partition.
Then if I wanted to use the SD card (or cards if you have more than one) I'd mount them as separate mount points under /home (say /home/music, or /home /videos or whatever).
