LVM is nice for people who may need more than seven usable partitions  
on a single disk, or who may want/need to create, resize, and delete  
partitions without having to reboot the machine in the process. it's  
not something that i myself would recommend to a beginner, but  
apparently the fedora guys disagree with me.

google is EVERYBODY'S friend... at least in terms of their search  
engine. i have my concerns about the fact that they're becoming so  
firmly entrenched in so many other facets of peoples' internet lives,  
but that's a different conversation.
