Here's what I do for an avg setup...
Device Mt Pt Size Comments
--------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 / 100 - 150 MB
hda2 swap 2*<physical ram>
hda3 /usr 1 - 1.5 GB (for all of those programs and libs)
hda4 ext <size-hda1,3,4> (for the logical devices)
hda5 /tmp 50 - 150 (up to you...not used much)
hda6 /var 300+ MB (good avg...more if you need it)
hda7 /home <remaining> (whatever's left)
If you're short on space, you can throw out the tmp, and size down the
usr and home directories. If you're doing web hosting, I like to give
the site a user shell account and configure apache to look into that
home directory. FTP sites can usually be found under /home/ftp/pub...
Etc. /usr should be kept for binaries, libraries, and shares. If you
start running out of room, you can always add another harddrive and
resize your partitions, changing some mount points to the new
harddrive.
Later!
