We are talking about the guy who builds everything as root, runs everything including GUI as root, builds from tarballs and never packages rpm's, compiles vanilla kernels without the redhat patches, etc., uses samba instead of nfs to share files but still claims to not use anything Windows, and as evidenced upthread, will spend endless hours tinkering with partitioning because of self perceptive speed improvements (no empirical tests mind you) and without bothering to check if his hard drive is actually jumpered for the highest speed.
