concerning the partitioning: it seems you recommend to install everything into 1 partition mounted as / I found another small guide here http://www.debianhowto.de/de:howtos:woody:ausgangssystem which recommends another structure. I guess because of security reasons (so no user exceeding his quota, maybe by hacking or whatever can block the whole system) ?? Could you have a look at the page? What partitioning would you suggest if one wants to use your ispcfg ? I guess a fairly large amount has to be allocated to /var but how about the others? on the other side is it really worth all the hassle? will it confuse ispcfg if I have another aprtitioning scheme? can anyone suggest some sizes for lets say a 40gb hd? I mean one can change values proportionally for a bigger hd...
