hoping this isn't egregiously off-topic but i'm teaching a RH sys
admin course next week and i'm using SL 6.0 as the vehicle.  i'm being
handed the courseware to use and i'm pondering which parts are really
out of date so that i can skip them or replace them with newer
material on the fly.

  first question -- is there any sane reason not to use LVM these
days?  the manual opens (predictably) with showing the student how to
allocate fixed partitions during the install, and leaves LVM setup for
later in the week as an "advanced" topic.  i see it the other way
around -- LVM should be the norm nowadays.

  thoughts?  i'll always allocate /boot as a regular partition but
unless there are compelling reasons not to, i always recommend LVM as
the standard.
