on one drive. I like to make /home /tmp /var & /usr separate. Include the

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?
But why do you need separate partitions for all of those? All it adds is
complexity, unless you live and breathe 'dd', which is most comfortable with
partitions. You would have separate partitions if you wanted to share the /home
folder, for instance, but not if they are completely isolated. Just put them
all in / and be done with it, I say.
I don't see why we should put everything in /.
And why not share the swap partition? Nothing special goes in there.
I'm an OS junkie too, but four partitions per hard drive work fine.
How do you install half a dozen OSes in the same disk, without doing
partitions?
