I don't remember how much ram you said you had, but assuming 2GB (double the ram as a swap partition), I'd partition as follows:
Assuming the drive is called /dev/sda.... /dev/sda1 100MB ext2 /boot /dev/sda2 4GB Linux swap /dev/sda3 5GB reiser3 /tmp /dev/sda4 (Extended holder) /dev/sda5 20GB xfs/jfs /var (I know most distributions place their server application binaries and data under the var directory) /dev/sda6 19GB xfs/jfs /usr /dev/sda7 20GB xfs/jfs /opt /dev/sda8 10GB xfs/jfs / /dev/sda8 1GB xfs/jfs /home Depending on the needs of your applications, you may find that 5GB as /tmp doesn't work well. Really all of the above information depends on your applications. If you have a need for a bunch of user specific, large files and less of a need for client applications, decrease /opt and increase /home.
