Hi,
I am hoping someone might help me understand why Linux is usually setup
a certain way.
Most Linux PC have only one disk drive yet it is recommended that the
disk be partitioned into many pieces (home, root, var, swap). I thought
this kind of setup would cause excessive disk head movement.
RedHat Linux 6.1 has the following warning:

5.6 RAID Contr ollers Known Issues:
The installation of Red Hat Linux's root partition onto a RAID device is
not supported.
