Maybe things have changed recently though.
I tend to dislike partitioning into a bunch of
small pieces like Red Hat
defaults to. The reason being that you will eventually run out of space
in /tmp or /home or /usr or wherever you don't think you're going to run
out of space (see Murphy's law).
Check out LVM or EVM.
For our
systems at work (and my home
systems) I usually partition the main drive as follows:
/boot 100MB
/ 10000MB (I load everything on the distribution which leaves me
about 4 GB of slop space for /tmp and a growing /usr)
swap 2-4 GB depending on system memory
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/partition-4.html#number
is very well written. Get rid of /boot, separate / and /var,
/tmp goes on tmpfs in linux 2.6. swap is max memory you will
use. Is 2 * physical memory still sound advice?
