Hi s.! you might want to rethink not putting /tmp,/var/tmp on their own partitions. tmp might fill up especially in a testing (sarge), dist and that might lock up your root filesystem. then login into X might get very difficult. you might also want to try mounting different partitions with different permissions. and then tmp should definitely have a noexec tag and not share the same as /boot (ro). ... http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/
