For servers and the like, I'm still fairly religious with respect to 
paritioning. The last thing we want is someone DoS'ing the filesystem
and stopping a root login.

For a home PC, I gave up a while ago with the 7 partition thing for unix. 
I just got sick and tired of having to shuffle data around when I ran out of
space when all I wanted to do is try something out. Maybe a seperate
partition for /home, but everything else is on the one.
