Let me start by saying I am no expert! My 8GB CF card is split into a
6GB partition for the OS and a 2GB swap partition. My hard disk then
has a single partition for /home. 

I read somewhere about the number of writes a CF card can handle. It
was something like 500K I think. Which even with a write every 5 mins
means it will last almost 6 years.

I would be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this because I
am all for tweaking my system to improve it. I currently have noatime
set on all my partitions to reduce journal writes. 

The idea for me was to have my HDD spun down most of the time - only
spinning up when I need to access my music/photos/video. Hence
everything else is on the CF card.
