I prefer not an a lvm partition. But, that's because I use loop-aes
underneath lvm (my PVs are loopback devices), but want to use random keys
for and not encrypt twice.

Hi,
the more partitions, the more wasted space.
For example /var 2gb /vat is mostly enough, but sometimes, you need 4,6,8 GB,
but 6/8GB /var is just overkill.
/home should always be on its own partition, this way, you can reinstall
everything without risking your user-data, or share /home betw

I found using a separate partition for /opt was a pain, so I mounted /usr/
opt at /opt. It keeps

I've got blackdown, sun jdk, a few other apps installed in /opt. I
originally set my partition to 4g, but currently only use 495mb. So you
should be fine

Hello,
This is a desktop system that I'm planning the partitioning scheme for.
OK. I hadn't thought about software suspend. So 1.5 GB swap it is! I had
initially chosen 256MB because, not even the full 768 MB of RAM was used
when running KDE 3.4, a movie in Kaffein and "update world" in the
back

Yes, I think it's wise to have some swap. I've got 512MB and I have found
that

Traditionally swap was set to twice ram: I think

Is this laptop or desktop?? Swap may still be needed if you're planning
