If I have another physical disk, I'd rather put backups on it.
I *strongly* urge you to put /home on a separate partition. Why? If you ever have to do a scratch install, the installer will init / (that's where /home lives if it's not on a separate partition) and *poof* goes all your data. I've found that a 20GB root partition gives you *ample* room for / and a couple of 1GB swap *files*. Give the rest to /home. OR make /home 8-9 GB and then create a /data/01 partition which fills up the rest of the disk. Extra disks, manage with LVM and call them /data/02. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
