Freedom - with a single huge partition? When you have different
partitions, you can always add more space to them. If you need more
space, get a new disk and mount the required partition there..

Now this is where the reply to your earlier post on upgrading to RHL
6.2 comes in. If you have a different part for /usr, /home, you do
not need to do much. For most linuces which have upgrade cycles of 4-
5 months, this is a very good option. You do not have to bother about
losing your home directory or your preconfigured setting.
