I disagree with you in that point. When i talked to Heinz at the Linux
Kongress in Germany i dreamed of a simple install with removed complexity
where most of the Newbies fail - Partitioning. Think of having an installation
where you ONLY have to choose the harddrive and possibly ONE partition and
the installer will automatically create a /usr /tmp /var /home / and swap
logical volume(s) and the user does NOT have to care on choosing the sizes
for those because they will be increased on installation automatically
(If we have an LVM AND resizeable filesystems)
If you ever installed an AIX you whish of doing this with your
linux distribution - Just choose Harddrive, language and dont care.
It will install in small 4MB partitions for / /var /tmp /usr /home
and you will be able to increase them for your needs after
the systems comes up finally.
You sure need big file support bug i think big file support is something
for BIG SERVERS serving Databases with >2GB Data volume. This is
5000 serves in the World - End users you have millions nowerdays.
