We'd like a show of hands to see if folks prefer the "old" style default with 4 partitions and swap, or the newer iteration with 1 partition and swap.

I only run servers and set them up with /, /usr, and swap. Other partitions are placed on other disks with typically one partition per disk. I link /var and /tmp into /usr.

That last is a *BAD*IDEA*(tm). There _are_ programs that assume that /var/tmp and /usr/tme are *different* places -- and will attempt to create 'distinct' files _with_the_same_name_ in the two diretories.

I am sure you can find programs that presume anything you want. I have never
seen one that does that. If I did find one, it would be easy to correct that
misguided thinking.
