I think it's mostly an age thing. As in how long you've been around Linux not how long you've been alive. At one point in time it was very necessary to have a /boot partition. (the old 1024 problem.) So the end result is that a lot of users say boot partition by habit. It really doesn't make a diff whether it is a separate partition or not. Anymore. James
