I'm thinking about getting a new laptop for myself and a new desktop for
my wife. I know that for these computers I definitely want a separate
partition for /home.
I notice that on my present Linux machines that I have a separate
partition for /tmp. And of course there are separate partitions for /
and swap. That's all the separate partitions I have.
How important is it to have a separate partition for /tmp? I've got 2G
on the desktop I'm using right now. The partition for / is 15G. I
vaguely recall a discussion here years ago and people saying that /tmp
is on a separate partition to prevent / from being crowded. Does it
make sense to have a 2G /tmp? Does it make any difference if one does
not have a separate partition for /tmp but instead adds 2G to /?
Thanks for you help.
Bob
