Just a small word of warning. Partitioning can also be a pain, too, because the size you set is immutable (sans reformatting the whole sucker or buying special software) and some applications will keep using the location for your home folder on your startup partition. Even if you go to the trouble of figuring out how to change where Mac OS X thinks your home folder should be, some apps may still be hardcoded to the old /Users/yourname path.

I tried the partitioning thing a couple years ago. After a while, I couldn't stand it, but that's just me...

This would be a good place to start. Seriously, if you've got questions, we've got answers. MacOSXHints.com is another pretty good resource, but it can get pretty technical at times. If you like cutting down trees, I've heard excellent reviews of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual.
