Comment Slices Vs Partitions (Score 1) 223

Does anybody out there actually use multiple slices? If so, why (I'd honestly like to know!)

I use multiple (two) slices for running -Current and -Stable. N.B A normal IBM bios allows 4 partitions per disk, as I have a partition for /, /usr (obvious), /var (to set a limit on ftp uploads and mail etc.), a swap patition and a second OS. Thats Five and could not be done without slices, this goes up to eight if you run -current as well (only one swap) and more still if you want to run Linux.
