Experiance is key in that department.
Screwing with partitions doesn't bother me either, I'm always resizing the moving them. My approach doesn't make any difference in that respect, it just makes removing the whole distro easier if it does not have files mixed in with those from other distros. When I had two distros installed long term, i booted them both for the same /boot partition. -- Neil Bothwick I am Barney of Borg: I love you. You love me. We're a happy Borg.
