Another thing you can do is use fewer partitions. Each partition
requires a safety margin. The fewer partitions you have, the less
wasted space for safety margins. Here is my setup...
[m450][waltdnes][~] df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 1208692 110608 1048928 10% /
udev 62476 2640 59836 5% /dev
/dev/hda6 37815936 19929656 16349504 55% /home
shm 62476 0 62476 0% /dev/shm
I could shave another 900 megabytes off / and still have plenty of
room. I accomplish this by moving /tmp /usr and /var to the /home
partition. The system (/bin and /sbin) is constant. /tmp is where
you can put large temporary files. /usr has portage and /usr/bin.
/var has the logfiles.

Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security?
A. I think it would be a good idea.
