Ah, yes.  The critical system applications, bat and cddb.  No reason to
configure or recompile (if they, *gasp* have hardcoded paths in their
executables) these to actually store their caches under a more resonable
location.  Perhaps the partition that is most often dedicated to
variable data generated by applications during their runtime...  /var.

Especially if you're talking about Red Hat and Mandrake. ;-)

Seriously, I think it is perfectly reasonable to be a nazi with your
filesystem.  But this is SO way off topic right now, I'm going to
refrain from further comment.

Have a great weekend!
