Lots of people have their own ideas. My main machine is just one big partition (plus a swap partition) and that works fine for me. (-: On others' systems I tend to at least separate fairly critical system stuff that won't grow enormously, from other stuff. Often that'll mean separating maybe /tmp /var /usr/local /home from the root filesystem. Of course, you can do that with just one other partition and some symlinks. It's absolutely reasonable and maybe advisable to make more partitions if you have a reasonable idea how at least certain parts of the disk will be used, though. FWIW, our company web server apperas to have: $ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 50717 11112 36986 23% / /dev/hda3 495746 1379 468764 0% /home /dev/hda4 2468327 482681 1858034 21% /usr $ -- Mark
