Long time ago I realized why that was a bad idea. back then, sometimes, a
file write would go beserk, and bits of that file would be implanted all
over the partition. Probably won't happen now, but it is a good practice
to put heavily-written areas off by themselves, and leave the distribution
in a partition that logfiles, or browser cache, will not be writing.
