I didn't mean that I wasn't going to have these trees, only that they didn't need to be on a separate partition. If it was going to be a machine permanently assigned to someone, it is sometimes good to have /opt and /usr/local on separate partitions so that they can be preserved, if desired, when changing distros or doing unsupported upgrades. At least I always believed that. I just don't think I will be installing anything on this machine that needs to go into either of those trees. > > You are encrypting /home, I hope? I hadn't thought about it, but it's a good idea. We've had people break LCDs and lose chargers, but have been lucky so far about losing the laptop itself. We don't have much in terms of trade secrets, but some people have a lot of HIPPA protected stuff. These are not technical users. Encryption suggestions that won't freak them out? Attachment:
