Hmm yea, come to think of it your suggestions make more sense. I still think I'm going to try out LVM. I'm just leary of setting limits on the partitions(paranoid thinking in the future nut). I will take yer suggestion and create a /home and a / partition. Any suggestion on why I should use JFS over ext3 or vice versa?
