That was because I was going to install a 2.2.8 and was planning to upgrade later on. A bunch of people showed interest about the partitioning issue and pointed out that there wasn't enough documentation available. Having compiled all the information people provided me, I setup my system. I though it would be usefull for those how showed interest and for future users searching -questions to record what my final choice was. Of course, it was created with a particular purpose in mind. There is not such a thing as a perfect suit for everyone. This layout has some features: o Many fs are mounted noexec, and /home and /tmp are separate fs. Browse -security for a full explanation on why this is _so_ important. o I can compile things on /tmp. o I can easily upgrade (basically I umount /home, /var and /usr/local and simply reinstall the OS). o etc. How much space I'm actually using is not important. I just pasted a df to show the partition sizes. Best regards. Fernando P.
