Yes, no argument there, the question wasn't about total space or
multi-booting, but whether multiple partitions within a single Linux
filesystem were advisable, and if so, which directories and how big.
My contention was that it was vital on a server (and I normally have a
spare one-partition installation of the same OS version on a server, as
well as several partitions within the main OS) but of limited use on a
workstation, and not worth the inevitable wrong guesses about future
needs.
