At my campus theres a lot of "linux nerds", and it is generally advised
that you shoud partition into /swap and / -spessially if you got limitded
disk space. (of course this scheeme is closely connected to the use of the
box.) At this point I'm doing a bit of programming, and don't use the net
for more than bacup purposes (sometimes i run a few prgs. of the server)
-for this use there is no need to partion into /usr /home etc.
But you should consider holding of about 200/300 Mb for a HFS partition
and mount this in /mnt (this woud give you the opportunity to do a bacup
on your most presious files.)
