This CAN be confusing. Technically, the only partitions you NEED are
/ and swap. Even then you may not need swap if you've got a ton of
RAM. That being said, still make a swap partition.
When I try out a distro, I generally add a /home partition as well so
that if I install another distro, or my current distro dies, at least
my personal data files can be saved through a reinstall by not
formating (initailizing) the /home partition during the reinstall.
Your idea of adding a /home partition seems reasonable.
I wonder if this is suitable to /var partition. I add a /var partition,
when reinstall the system(the same distro), don't touch the /var partition.
Is the /var patition still avaible in the newly installed system? anyone
tests on this?
