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.
I have come to this same conclusion. I have enough servers to manage.
I don't need the headache of having one on my lap. When I was
learning, it was great, but now I just want something to work. I can
build out a lap top in no time at all. I have taken an approach in the
middle for desktops, because there is more potential of having
multiple drives, and I have a tendency to use my desktop as a file
server for the rest of the house.
Actually this is my drop in and show off server processes machine too...
But...
I see the point of the consensus. What I will need to be able to use
once I get my hands on it will be suitable to be symlinked in...
I haven't had a desktop in a while...
Hey JHRV! What server school!!
And that multiple partition strategy for Linux has been around for a
long time even when HD's were even less than this size... right, right??
I originally understood the multiple partition strategy as being a way
to (among other reasons) to isolate a partitoin that ended up needing an
fsck when it had problems back before, as I mentioned, journaling file
systems got so good and back in the ext2 days (fingers crossed, I
haven't had to do one of those in years...).
Anyway symlinks it is until the next desktop...
Thanks All!
