LVM. Make /boot and / as normal (with enough space to work with, but
not too big, and make the rest an LVM volume. A volume will first
aggregate one or more physical disks/partitions, then it lets you
carve out logical volumes of space from that. The benefit is :
o logical volumes appear to the system (eg 'mount') as any other
normal partition
o logical volumes can be resized, and resized independent of the
actual size of your physical disks
o you can create multiple LVs in a volume, thus you can decide
later whether /var should be bigger than /usr or not

Read the HOWTO for the basics of getting it running. Use version "10"
(1.0.x) that's packaged in debian. If you try to use version 2 you'll
have to patch the kernel. It really isn't very complicated at all.
