HiPer,

Welllll....with these new huge discs, it can be a problem. I run three distros 
on one drive. I like to make /home /tmp /var & /usr separate. Include the 
primary / and you have used 15 partitions. Include one swap for all of them 
and you now have used 16. Actually /swap is on another drive. I still have 
about 80GB left on that disc and not enough partitions to use it  if I 
continue with my current thinking.  What are the three that you use? Are you 
not afraid of running out of space in the partitions which can grow so fast?

Yes, I know, could use LVM but that frightens me when all of the partitions 
for the different distros are thrown together in one big pool. Maybe I don't 
understand it well enough so I avoid it. 

Anyway, 10.3 is an absolute delight. Works great, seems to be really fast. A 
few small niggling problems like 3D rendering but nothing that cannot be 
overcome.
