[CoLoCo] partitioning (after the fact...)

[Andrew]

No, it really doesn't explain that in the book. In fact it only talks about
it when your configuring a server.

It says "generally it's a good idea to have at least three seperate
partitions seperate from the rest of the system:

x /home: where all the users files will live

x /tmp: temporary scratch space for running applications

x /var: mail spools and log files



If I had to guess though, it'd say it's so you can have more than one user.

(to be honest it's not that great of a book. I didn't want to buy it myself,
so I had the library buy it :D )

The book "Beginning Ubuntu Linux" by Kier Thomas and Apress is much better
in my opinion.
