I recently purchased a new laptop which came with a 24GB SSD disk. In order to get the most of this technology and prevent unnnecessary writes (which affects the longevity of these systems) I kind of followed the superb advice given at Get better performance and life from your SSD in Linux-based systems.
In particular, I mounted the/home directory in the tradicional HD and moved temporary directories (e.g., /tmp) to RAM.
Works as a charm!
