[wplug] Partitions

[DAMON C RAGNO]

it's just one drive, just make it one big partition. I never bought into
the idea of having 50 partitions for /home, /usr/ /var and what have you.
My Theory is that if something currupts your files, , your HD is
broken. THen you have more important things to worry about, like
hardware failure.Different partitons only make sense if you have more then
one drive, like a separate one for /home

I'm all about being proved wrong here, I've kinda always courious to why
people go though the pita of doing that. I've heard of a speed increase,
but it's still just one drive. I don't see where it would come from.
