Perhaps someone can edify us newbies. What, if any, is the advantage in
having a number of partitions for Linux? Most of the stuff I've read to
date, has made the point that a number of partitions are a good idea. The
'linux pocket book' suggested having only two. One for the swap and the
other for the rest.
