What's wrong with that method? Frankly, a user can partition however
they like, and if they're transitioning from Windows, why not keep some
familiarity to make the transition easier?
Personally, I'm on a dual boot system, and my setup (viewed from the
Linux side) is:
/ 42 G ext3
/code 150 G FAT32
/data 150 G FAT32
/other 50 G FAT32
/windows 63 G NTFS
swap 8 G
All of the partitions are sym-linked from my home directory for ease of
access, along with other links deeper into each partition for particular
folders.
