Actually, since fsck is all about metadata (inodes), a big, mostly-empty
isn't going to take much longer to check than a smaller partition with
the same number of used

That advice is as bogus now as it was then.
The answer is, "use what YOU need".
Most of the time, if your system starts swapping, you are hur

I have a 500MHz test machine, 256MB RAM, 4GB H/D,

Most of the examples show separate partitions for
