But server install and desktop install are really different. The server
install disk wouldn't need to have even half of what the regular install
disk has because you don't need any of that GUI junk on a server.

I wonder if you read carefully what he wrote about /boot. Including a
primary partition that is or could be /boot makes a system more robust.
Hi Guys,
first I want to apologize if this topic has been talked about before
(which is what I hope) but congratulate to all those great
improvements Ubuntu made over the last years.
Now to my problem. My problem's I love Ubuntu and Linux in general,

So, my favorite for a desktop is a two partition design. One for /

If you miss a swap partition, you've read correctly. With 2 GB or
more of physical RAM these days, there is no real need for swapping
at all.
I definitely agree that the single / partition isn't the best way to go. My
preference is
swap
/boot
/home
/
While other partitions can be useful, this covers the most important areas
(user data, settings, and the ability to continue to boot Windows/OSX
regardless of what happens to Ubuntu).

Why is there so much focus on keeping the Ubuntu installer to the very
limited size of a CD-R ISO?
I think this is one of Ubuntu's greatest features:
- DVD burners still comparatively rare, especially in the non-western
world
- an even higher

The alternate disk can install a full system or can do a server install
which is just the base system. After a server install, you are dropped to a
command-line-only system.
