This being linux, there is definately more than one way to do it...
However, assuming both drives are close to the same performance (IE:
one's not either a super fast or super slow drive), I might do something
like the following:
15G (hda)
(hda1) 10-50M /boot -- depending on if you have a lot of kernel
images hanging around :)
(hda2) 500M swap -- depending on the amount of ram you have you
might want more or less. Some
advocate no
swap, but I always try to have
256-1G or
more around depending on HD
space
(hda3) remaining / -- lots of room for apps, portage, distfiles,
etc
40G (hdb)
(hdb1) /home -- put your ftp in /home/ftp web on
/home/httpd, etc. Lots of
room.
Just my suggestion anyway.
