20 Really? It's been a while since i hung out in #gentoo, but i was
21 there pretty solidly for a couple of years and i don't recall any new
22 user (to gentoo or linux) reporting in, saying they set up their
23 disk(s) with all of those partitions. They pretty well always
24 followed the "default partitioning scheme" listed in the table in 4.b
25 (which is used for every other example on that chapter).
