Only that it reduces the number of inodes needed by mounting/tmp on a
ramfs.

I found the best way to deal with the Eee 900's two drives was to create
a small root partition (I used 200M) and swap on sda. Then make the rest
of sda and all of sdb into an LVM volume group. I still use ext3 for /,
but it contains so little that inodes are not an issue. You definitely
want to get /usr/portage, $PORTAGE_TMPDIR and $DISTDIR off the root
partition.
