unhappy with that. I think I'd skip separate /home if HD size less

So, something like this:
less than 19G -> up to 1G swap, balance /
19G-35G -> 8G /, up to 2G swap, balance /home
more than 35G -> 12G /, up to 4G swap, balance /home
I would go way beyond that. Don't users install additional applications?
I have more than 30GB of applications installed, though I will admit
that is probably far from typical. I think for under 80GB of space, it
should be a single partition. Over that, if you are going to go for this
crazy scheme ;), make / at least 20G.
I'd split at around 40G, with 20 for /.
I think that some users are going to file up their /home with DVD/music
downloads, and then grumble about the unused space on /.
However, as a user, I can say that I will always use a single partition
(as I have been doing since my HPUX and Solaris days).
How do you preserve your /home files when you upgrade? If you have a
spare machine with lots of space to rsync back and forth or some other
quick backup mechanism it's not a big deal, but not everyone has that.
I upgrade infrequently (I went from FC4 to F7, skipping everything in
between), and generally just buy a new disk for the new OS. I see disks
as cheap, though I agree not everyone thinks that. I stick both disks in
the computer, copy over what I want, and leave it there for a few weeks,
until I am satisfied that everything on the new OS is the way I like it.
