Yea the default works but how is it Plain Wrong?  If it was flat out
wrong then Upstream would not allow it.  Raid 1 disk array with one hot
spare on a hardware raid controller under a SAN server is what you
saying is wrong?  Case is, the array is not using /home or /var; were
only exporting nfs luns direct attached.  What on earth and why would I
want to have another drive for /var &/home in this case.  I'm just
asking but not arguing.  There are cases where it works exceptionally.
In fact my opinion is it works nice for newbies, untill they gets a lil
experience.

With number one I do not agree.  You can install apps under winblows in
any location.  Not every Unix/Linux system has the same file layout.
Debian vs CentOS
