Hi all.I have Samsung fifth series ultrabook and i want change OS from Windows to Ubuntu clean install.
On SSD was Windows 7 (64 bit) before.
Here details about storage: 500GB + 24GB SSD
Main Question is partition management.
I want to have my Ubuntu on SSD and boot it fast.
So what's the best solution? Want to hear your opinion.
Thank you.

Just make sure to create a separate /home partition on your bigger HDD.
