I'll assume you meant 20gb.  The best partition is the one that is the most=
=20
useful for you.  I don't like having partitions above 100gb, and that's a=20
personal preference.  I'd use the whole 20gb. =20

If you do decide to use it all, you won't have a choice but to have one har=
d=20
mount point.  Based on what my drives are used for, I will put it in=20
different places.

Ex: my backup drive resides in /mnt/backup.  My public share drive resides=
=20
in /usr/local/public_share.

Again, theses are not standards but what I'm most comfortable with.
