My main computer's on Debian now.

Shoot. openbsd's X11 configurations would take less time than messing with this.

I think I actually like Debian. When I try something new I'm not
always bumping into people in a hurry to re-invent the world. (Yeah,
yeah, I'd like to get someone to pay me to re-invent the world, too.)

But I need to keep a Fedora box for studying until I can take the new LPIC 2.

Trapped between certification churn and the vendor lock-in tricks that
resulted in a 15G boot partition and this kind of junk. Don't want to
move the fourth basic partition, in case I have some reason to restore
the restore partition sometime. I could just record the partition's
start point, I suppose.

I'm wondering if anyone has ventured to move /usr after the install.
If so, how badly does it bite?
