At installfest there was a Asus eee. The Debian installer wasn't very intuitive about setting up
LVM but they wanted to merge the 2GB flash with a 4GB SD card. That was easy to do and seemed to work.
I usually use LVM because I like to be able to move blocks around without disturbing the file
system. In this case, merging both SSDs means you can't remove/swap out either (unless you take
steps to put all the OS files on the other).
I think the whole OS should fit in 8GB easily. So you could keep the 32GB separate and use it for
data (under /srv, or /home, or wherever makes sense). You could still use LVM if you wanted that
flexibility.
