    Roberto recommended this too. I guess I'm skeptical on this because I
    don't really want to deal with a new tool, and I want my filesystems to be
    accessible w/o special tools. Also, I'm running kernel 2.4 and have no
    desire to upgrade at this time. :)

    Home directories are under /usr/home, and /home is a symlink to /usr/home.
    Same deal with /var at the moment.

    I've thought about it. Again, inertia holds me back. What concrete
    advantages would I gain by switching for a system that has a single boot
    volume, boots a single OS, and reboots rarely?

    Thanks much,

    Reid
