Yes...You should break your rather large hard disk into several partitions, as
if one partition goes bad, the others aren't affected. You should have
partitions for / /usr /swap /home /tmp /var and possibly others, depending on
your usage.
I'm sure others will have opinions on this as well. Please check the list
archive at http://slugarchives.nks.net/List; we've hashed through this a few
times ;-) You can also see the debian installation manual, which gives good
advice about partitioning, even if you don't use debian as your linux distro:
