Ok how much should I donate to /usr and /var?

No dual boot Kubuntu all the way.  I have a Ukrainian friend that uses
PC-BSD (and its KDE interface) and he is showing me why he believes
its better and how to write drivers.  If I dont take the plunge then I
never will, my goal is to work on converting programs from Windows to
Linux.

Thanks Matt :-)
