| But eventually everything will be on that 80GB drive itself as it creates /usr, /var partitions during OS installation and installs various important things. You can only use additional drives as '/home' OR as backups.

| You can change that, you don't have to keep anything the way the OS installs it...

| When you set up partitions you can set where to mount /var
And yes, it will improve performance if your applications do a lot of i/o to the hdd
