Hello,

This is a question geared for system administrators running Evergreen,  
though I am not sure if this is the list I should use.

My library is migrating to Evergreen this month and I am about to set  
up a brand new server to house Evergreen. The server has two 300 Gig  
hard drives with hardware based RAID 1 and 8 Gigs of RAM.

My questions are about Debian partition configurations based on the  
choices given to me by the Debian installer.

1) When I install Debian on the new server should I use logical volume  
management (LVM)

2) Should I set up...

	A) a single partition for the single logical (RAID 1) drive
	
	or
	
	B) a separate "/home" partition

	or
	
	C) separate partitions for "/home" , "/usr" , "/var" , "/tmp"


Thank you in advance for your help,
Yamil
