I've installed Fedora 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 on my eeepc 901. Mine has
a 4 gig SSD and a (slower) 16 gig SSD.

Using the live cd I've put / and /boot on the 4 gig and everything else
on the 16 gig. It's tight, and there's not a lot of room to install 
massive packages. e.g., I've not put on the open office/libre office 
stuff, nor development tools.

the other way is to let fedora configure the entire thing as one big LVM then
partition that into /boot, /, and /home.
