For a standard workstation (not a server that's going to take many
hits/day), I'll take some 30MB for /, 20MB for /var some to swap
(depending on what type of load it will see - I'm writing this on a
machine with 100MB swap, and it has /tmp on MFS too, but you can get
along pretty well with even less) and the rest to /usr, with /home going
(as it does by default) on /usr. If you really need /home to be separate,
then you probably know how much it'll take up :-)
