	I have the same R300 in production but with Centos-5.2

	my partitionning is
	sda1	100M		/boot
	sda2	100M		/res/boot
	sda3	8G		swap
	sda5	15G		/
	sda6	15G		/res
	sda7	remaining	/work

	The purpose of /res is to be able to install
	another distro while keeping current
	available in case of trouble.
	(this partitionning is with raid-5 in mind,
	  but I still use it on raid-1).

	My 2 cents..
