A long time back, I thought I was ingenius by creating separate partitions, 
650 mb each so that I can back them up to cd rom, thinking that I could 
manage them better.  But, I keep running out of space on each partition, 
having to make symlinks to directories that I copied to partitions with space 
to spare.  I am thinking about discarding this whole approach, and to just 
use one single partition for all programs, and to keep all data on a separate 
large partition.  What are the advantages and disadvantages of using huge 
partitions as apposed to having them broken down into smaller partitions?

Thanks in advance.
