For a laptop... the simple partitioning is a lot easier and more logical for the kind of use it'll get. There's nothing wrong with splitting up into dozens of partitions if you want, but you're not gaining much on a laptop. I can see using an 11 partition scheme like you describe on a server that uses LVM and RAIDs and you need to be able to protect/manage/shuffle data in the various partitions... or where you can add/remove space out of the LVM drive pool.
I use LVM and multiple partitions on my ThinkPad. It makes it easier to adjust partition sizes when needed. I also have an ext3 partition which contains the Windows "My Documents" folder, making it easy to exchange documents between operating systems. I use ex2IFS to enable Windows access to the ext3 partition. http://www.fs-driver.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
