Could you explain?  Do you mean use large files in /tmp for scratch work?

Keep in mind that the box in questions primary purpose is to be a mail
server.  Secondary purpose is to hold files and data for when I'm away from
home (bookmarks, addressbook, expenses).  Teriary purpose is for running
math programs when I'm away from home, and screwing around.  Screwing around
meaning lisp stuff, image processing stuff, non-interactive graphics, etc.

Basically, a home away from home.
