But... Having multiple partitions is more work to plan sizes, maintain the system, add them to new installed system specially if it is different distribution. One can experience strange problems if one program attempts to use same name cache or database in /var that is common for few of them. The command rpm comes as an example.
There is another problem coming: the new limit of no more than 15 partitions per ata disk (pata and sata) :-( I like using several partitions for my system: /boot, /home, /usr, /usr/local, /usr/src, /opt, /data, /cryptodata... plus partitions for "the competition", tests systems; partitions for some programs, like vmware dedicated partition, another for amule or similar.... I'm well over the 15 limit.
So, I would use openSUSE default. It seems good for desktop use. At least all installation scripts know about it and installing and removing packages will not involve manual work.
It shouldn't. The only problem I have is that during system update, Yast sometimes forgets to mount all needed partitions and may run out of space unless I take action. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
