  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.
