I'd definitely use separate filesystems for /, /usr, and /home, would
almost certainly add one for /var, and would seriously consider some or
all of the following in their own partition:

    /tmp
    /usr/X11
    /usr/local
    /usr/src

It depends on your needs.  The KISS principle definitely applies -- if
you don't think it needs it's own, don't separate it out.

You must have clicked those ruby slippers together.

I believe Theodore T'so wrote the ext2fs stuff for Partition Magic *AND*
he has written resize stuff for ext2fs.  Check the normal Linux web
haunts for details.
