worth noting that iotop is linux only. (at least I'm 99% sure it is)

comment RAID 1 in linux
since you'll be using mdadm you might want to consider using raid10,f2 which can work on 2 drives and should offer a read performance benefit.

comment How to enable killing Xorg with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
@Hermant of course but it seems to be only 1/2 of it. I actually have it working now... there's a way to configure the xsetkbd option in xorg.conf. like so Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection there are several other places it could be done too.

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp by itself that didn't work :( apparently you need to do this too.

comment What IDE do you use for Mono development on KDE?
not that I don't like Vim or Emacs but seriously those are the next runners up? no love for Kate or Kdevelop? Oh well those were my answers being that they are KDE specific and very featureful,I can't speak for Mono support though, I suspect that Monodevelop is the best for developing Mono.

comment Is it good to make a separate partition for /boot?
well... iirc the bootloader can only access primary partitions still... so it can be useful if you've quite a few extended partitions.
