Depends really...there are enough files already with X and so keeping the files separate whatever way possible or simply not having them at all ensures that no issues arise...I've been using X for couple of years now without using or even looking at 9 or Classic so why make life more complicated...I get rather irritated when I check the wife's iBook at the root level and see two applications folders or system folders...but that might just be me :) > It's almost always a bad idea to partition with OS > X. It used to be that in earlier OS X versions (pre 10.2) creating a dedicated swap partition could keep the defragmentation of files down to a minimum and possibly (depending on RAM) speed things up a bit but with the new 'optimization' process used during installs this might be no longer true...any thoughts anyone?...I've not seen anything on this for some time now...
