FreeBSD will be the only OS on the laptop. Laptop will be used to web development (RubyOnRails), entertaiment (photo, music, video), web browsing and emailing, so no server side task will be handled. How you suggest to split 80GB between partitions to solve all laptop tasks. Here is partitions: /root /var /usr /home /swap Thx
