This is good advice, although one should beware that "/home" may comprise the vast majority of the storage space in use, particularly for companies, universities, and other organizations with lots of people. 9GB for the boot volume, ~75 GB for homedirs, and ~30GB for other files is what one fileserver of mine looks like. -- -Chuck
