I was fortunate with the EeePC 900 I bought used off eBay.  It was advertised with a 4GB SSD only, and I was agonizing over how best to install a usable system for someone with no computer savvy.  However, in the course of testing it, I discovered it had a 16GB SSD, too.  The seller must not have known.  It had the original Xandros on it, and the 16GB doesn't show.  I found it by accident when booting TinyCore Linux from a USB drive.  In any case, I ended up having more than enough room. I decided to put / on the 4GB drive and /home and swap on the 16.

Turned into a nice little machine, but it took me about 4 or 5 weeks, off and on, to set it up.
