I read somewhere that having a /home on a separate partition is good to keep your settings and the likes where you can install the system on / as many times as you want.
True, but there are always certain files on / that I want to preserve, so I do a full system backup and then just extract them when I need them. Things like xorg.conf (which isn't really necessary anymore).

I think I will go on like this:

/dev/sda1 2GB swap
/dev/sda2 10GB /
/dev/sda3 15GB /home
/dev/sda4 122GB /files

What do you think?

If I don't like it in the future, can I just merge / and /home into one 25GB / ?
Looks fine. You can probably merge them later, but I think it has to be offline, so you'll have to boot from parted livecd or something. I don't think you can resize / while you're booted into it.

I guess it has to beat a Paki arriving in India these days by sea. :shifty:

OK, sorry -- poor taste. The fact that Delhi is in the middle of essentially a desert aside... ;)
