On the machines I configure I generally give myself this much at least. Perhaps, the install should look at how big the drive is and adjust the defaults to fit the drive (ala the swap partitions adjustment to 2x the amount of RAM installed during configuration). I run a small ISP; here is the layout I used for a new box: / 64M /usr 3000M /var 100M /data1 1500M (mail / web logs) /data2 4000M (html documents / web content) Splitting out all the web 'data' makes chroot() for ftp work real well. 2 cents.
