If it ever gets too big, 'apt-get clean'.
Houses are so big nowadays, is a separate room for sleeping really necessary? If it ever gets too big, 'call the maid'. Partitioning is about logically organizing the space you have, and setting/tuning configuration options appropriately. If you like living in a warehouse, by all means do. If you prefer not shitting in the open, give yourself a bathroom with a door. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
