Welllll....with these new huge discs, it can be a problem. I run three distros on one drive. I like to make /home /tmp /var & /usr separate. Include the primary / and you have used 15 partitions. Include one swap for all of them and you now have used 16. Actually /swap is on another drive. I still have about 80GB left on that disc and not enough partitions to use it if I continue with my current thinking. What are the three that you use? Are you not afraid of running out of space in the partitions which can grow so fast? Yes, I know, could use LVM but that frightens me when all of the partitions for the different distros are thrown together in one big pool. Maybe I don't understand it well enough so I avoid it. Anyway, 10.3 is an absolute delight. Works great, seems to be really fast. A few small niggling problems like 3D rendering but nothing that cannot be overcome.
