If you want it to just work, not changing anything at first is easier -- I have 
a pretty set partition scheme that's on all the PC's that I use so it's easier, 
only the ratio of partition sizes changes.  Makes it much easier to transfer 
things around and I always know where everything is.

That can always be a problem, but remember that it's REAL easy and cheap to add 
another drive these days if needed.  You might have to change primary/vs 
logical partition types to get everything to fit together, but it should be 
doable.

60G SCSI, or IDE?
