My preference has always been to have more than one of pretty much any  
component, if one fails you are in trouble, but it's a lot better than  
everything going at once. You could have a Fedora disk and a separate  
disk for /home or maybe a mirrored drive so two copies of /home.

-- 
When addiction becomes commonplace in a society, people become  
addicted not only to alcohol and drugs, but to a thousand other  
destructive pursuits: money, power, dysfunctional relationships, or  
video games. A social perspective on addiction does not deny  
individual differences in vulnerability to addiction, but it removes  
them from the foreground of attention, because social determinants are  
more powerful.
