The first thing I notice when I started work here is that none
of the disks here are partitioned, ie only a 

	/

rather than

	/, /usr, /usr/local, and so on.....

and so on.  I have been given the impression that the formal is
the norm as far as apollo is concerned.  Am I right? Is there a 
reason NOT to do so?   For all system administrators out there, 
how many of you actually partition your disk and what is/are
your main reason(s) for partitioning your disk.

Thanks in advance.
