It took me quite a while to realize that /home should be as large as possible because in each home directory there are almost no rules! I'd been trying to put stuff in /usr and /usr/src since they belonged to the system. Well, I'd been trying to convince myself of that... Then I realized that I was trying to keep /home/wwb clean for no good reason. Just a few directories are all it takes and it's easy to put in there just about everything I want to play with.

My server has a 30Gb drive just for /home. Everything else is on a separate 4Gb drive.
