Right.  I think I was agreeing with you in that one big / (with some swap,
of course) is actually easier unless you're an aggressive sysadmin who has
the time/resources to do it classically.  I'm not saying folks can't
partition the nice, big drives that are available now, it's just more work
if it is to be done right.
