Author Storage Scheme

Greetings.

I'm posting this new thread for all of you to let me know your opinion
about which storage scheme (in a generic way, independent of the O.S.)
works better for you.

E.G. This guy in Flickr prefers this kind of organization for his
files:

But I can't figure out how things are organized down the file tree
structure in each of his partitions!

What's your opinion?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I certainly subscribe to the idea of separating your important
data from the partition running the OS, since then you can back up the
data separately (perhaps copying the significant portions of your
browser and email data there as well) and just reinstall the OS and
relevant applications if necessary.

If you run a multi-boot environment and want said data available
regardless of the system you're running, such separation is pretty well
necessary.

Beyond that, whatever floats your boat.
