I put /home, /var, /tmp and /boot all on their own partitions, so that
if any of the fill up it limits the problems that are likely to be
caused.
I also have some custom partitions for storing digital camera pics and
distro images on. Keeping these separate makes it much easier when
installing a new version - I don't reformat these partitions.
And I also just ignore my browser cache in my regular backup job - no
need for it to be on a different partition.
