[The debian-handbook package may be quite useful: a long book which covers a lot of the basics and some advanced topics. It was very professionally written by a Debian developer of long experience and covers a lot of your questions. The package installs a PDF - you can also purchase print copies online.] Having said that, if you partition disks using your own partitioning scheme and run out of space in /var/ , say, you may have locked up the machine enough that it's hard to undo enough to attach another disk. This is one of the reasons why it's quite useful to keep a spare desktop style machine around to practice installs, learn how to deal with breakage, have a machine to practice upgrades to the next stable version and so on :) All the best, Andy C.
