Two things... One, I don't know if you believe that a different partition layout will affect the performance of the system or not, but other than a few rare circumstances, it rarely does. In addition, a reinstall is a bad way to try to fix performance problems. Depending on the method of reinstall (for example would you be leaving your /home intact?) you may wind up with a zero impact and, depending on the amount of customization, a great deal of work. You may want to try to address that separately. Two, if you want to get good advice no how to partition the system, you may want to outline the system hardware (especially RAM), the intended primary usage (server, desktop, development, etc.), additional usage requirements (storage of large files, etc.), and any other possibly useful information (like you download a lot of stuff to compile yourself, etc.). Other wise you will get mostly speculation on what you really are after and will have to piece stuff together. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
