Everyone has their own philosophy, and each has its benefits over the
others. If you look at it enough, you'll see that for most people it
really just doesn't matter. The only thing is if you're running an older
linux distro, or more specifically an older LILO, you'll want to create a
/boot which is 30MB or so (or maybe a little less) NEAR THE START OF THE
DISK in order to circumvent the 8GB limitation...
