+1 (he said, swooning)

FWIW, and yes, I *know* I'm atypical, but... I haven't installed
anything other than temporary/testing setups *without* LVM for a couple
years, now.  Granted, "temporary" sometimes lasts far longer than
intended, but the hassles that result are a significant part of the
reason I use LVM as often as I do!

The one exception I can think of are multi-boot setups such as the one
on the laptop, and that had more to do with Woody not supporting
installion onto LVM (at least I assume it was Woody that was the
blocker there - it's been a while).
