... the REALLY IMPORTANT question is, "what is it you're trying to accomplish or what are your requirements"? IOW, the performance gains you might realize will be minimal, compared to the effort, if you're running a personal workstation. considering today's hardware and current Linux distros, all this talk about "where to put the 'swap' and '/' and so forth is an irrelevent point
special, dedicated servers for a LAN might be a different story
I will be running a personal workstation. Main considerations will be web developent, running apache and mysql as a test server for my code, and personal things like browsing and email. I would like to install as many things as possible on this box considering that I will obviously have the space to do so. I want to explore everything that the 9.0 distro has to offer. I would also like to configure my box with consideration to easing the upgrade to newer versions in the future and ease of recovery in case of systems failure. -=Thinker
