Q: Reason for partitioning scheme?

[Evan]

I definitely agree that the single / partition isn't the best way to go. My
preference is

swap
/boot
/home
/

While other partitions can be useful, this covers the most important areas
(user data, settings, and the ability to continue to boot Windows/OSX
regardless of what happens to Ubuntu).

Just my two cents.
