I've a dual boot in my laptop, but it's just for a warranty thing.
It's squeezed in a 30GB partition. And for the next Fedora release it
will be wiped.
Glad you find a solution that suits you.

Yes, it's how I've got my desktop set up, previously my laptop didn't
have enough space to make that practical. Though

First, I strongly recommend to put /home in a separated partition. It
will save you time any time you make a fresh install.
Second, may I ask what use you give to your Windows? I mean, why you
keep a dual boot?

It's been a while since I touched LVM, I don't use it on my personal
machines since I don't need what it provides and when it was first
introduced in Fedora I found it slowed things down a bit.
Right now I'm changing my laptop to a 250GB SSD (from the 100GB it had
previously). It dual boots and wa

My wife's machine is a full up FC14 x86_64 and I now have the joy of
trying to put windows XP on due to constraints at her work.
I figured no problem, Install windows from scratch and constrain the
