From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm surprised you can't put /usr on a separate partition. Back in my SunOS days, we used to NFS mount /usr on all our workstations.
You totally can, this is some weirdness in the mount order during boot and not having the disk available at the same path in the init ramdisk
Also, Ubuntu making bin a link to /usr/bin doesn't help :P
