I know this goes against everything they ever taught you in Server
School. A laptop is not a server, so don't treat it like one.
Me too.
Your present configuration is comparable to what I recommend for many
new end-user installations -- the separate home partition being a
(minor) convenience for backup/migration.
I see nothing wrong with moving things around on your 2 main partitions
and using a symlink strategy to achieve your 4+ GB available space
requirement.
Now, with a really huge hd, I generally *do* go to an lvm arrangement.
Something like 4 primaries: boot, root, swap, big-lvm. Still, I wonder
whether I'm just satisfying my urge to play with the neat lvm stuff.
As jhriv says, server strategy deserves different thinking.
