Special partitioning is only really needed on production
servers, where you need all performance you can get.
Your box sounds like not a very critical one. I bet you'll
spend more time configuring it "to the max" than it'll
ever save you because of that.

Now, if you really think 20G is a proper size for web,
mail, spools and logs - just set your var to 20G. No
need to mess with any other stuff. That's my $.02.
