Or you use the same /boot partition for all your distro's... The way it looks, 4 cylinders are going to be at least nessesary in the coming time.. as the kernels sizes increase by M's nowadays.. To have partitions has the advantage that the data does not have to scatter over the disc, so searchtime will be longer. Also the partitions are more easy to clean when seperate. But i think it is rather personal...
