I usually leave the /home and /boot directories on / for VM systems, which I |
| 15 |
use only for testing. I have no personal data on these systems and only use |
| 16 |
them to test OS or apps and particular configurations with them. On |
| 17 |
installations which I use on personal laptops/desktops I always have /var, / |
| 18 |
home, /boot on separate partitions for good reasons already mentioned. |

However, each to their own. :-) |
