Hi Lance. I always split up (at least): swap, /, /usr/, and /home. Others go
even further with /var, etc, etc,. The advantage is that everytime you upgrade
you can retain your .*rc files (user settings), and its so much easier to back
up separate partitions. See, you can have Mandrake NOT format your home
directory during an install/upgrade. ;-)
