I have a laptop with a UEFI boot system with two hard drives installed. The first hard drive is a 35GB SSD, and the second is a 500GB mechanical drive. In terms of installation I have no problem. I figured it out from the start, only changing the way that Ubuntu boots. I want to put my system files on the SSD and my /home directory on the other drive, so that the SSD won't fill up too quickly. Please tell me how to do this.

You can do it after installing the OS, but this requires more effort. Numerous Web sites describe the process in detail. A Web search turns up quite a few, starting with:
