i prefer seperate partitions.  it gives me a little more confidence when i'm
screwing around with something i don't know much about.  at least my /home
is relatively safe.  other than that i like seperates in case something
happens and a bunch of log files get written (from system being hacked?)
that way my "/" partition doesn't get "clogged up" and cause my system to
reboot.
