for the mail server, I'd go: 500MB / 1.5GB /usr 4GB /var (put half of that in /home if you're using qmail) 2GB /home For the web server (assuming customer sites are in ~): 500MB / 2.5GB /usr 1GB /var 4GB /home There are sooo many variables, of course...where are the customer web logs going to be? etc..)
