I use a single partition (just "/") on all of my workstations and many of my
servers. In practice, I've never been in a situation where it was beneficial,
and it is a hassle to repartition the disk if you fill one of the filesystems.
You also don't really need a "/boot" partition unless you have an older computer
with BIOS cylinder limits.
