Thanks for the helpful replies.

I have 3GB of RAM, running 64 bit suse.

Wow, my / partition is 5GB with a full install, i thought you were going to say its too big! What games out of curiosity as there were one or 2 i was considering?

I did think about a logical volume but i get a bit confused. I would format it with say EXT3 or XFS, then set up that partition as logical, and partition that using LVM?

Whats best filesystem for that or does it matter?

Also, i tried to backup but failed, wanted to backup home buty couldnt do it! I have an external drive i use and manually backup my music etc.

Also, Reiser FS or XFS, or dont bother changing?
