Here's what things look like on my FreeBSD system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 248M 56M 171M 25% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad4s1e 73G 17G 51G 25% /home
/dev/ad0s1e 248M 160K 228M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 6.6G 4.6G 1.5G 75% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 248M 13M 215M 5% /var
diderot:/usr/home/www 17G 1.2G 14G 8% /mnt/www
diderot:/usr/home/jason 17G 1.2G 14G 8% /mnt/jason
linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%
/usr/compat/linux/proc
portal:6465 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /p
My system is composed of two ATA hard disks, the system disk is 10 GB
and I have an 80 GB disk mounted as /home. You'll also see two NFS
mounted systems on there and a couple of extras: linprocfs for linux
binary compatibility, the portalfs for network portals, and devfs for
dynamic device creation.
There is also a 2GB swap partition on ad0, the system disk. My system
has 1 GB of RAM, and this is the recommmended amount. I have to say
though that my system rarely uses more than a couple KB of swap, and
that's even when doing something outrageous, like compiling the JDK 1.5
from sources, which I did this past Tuesday.
To translate the above into something linux-specific:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 248M 56M 171M 25% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/hdb1 73G 17G 51G 25% /home
/dev/hda2 248M 160K 228M 0% /tmp
/dev/hda3 6.6G 4.6G 1.5G 75% /usr
/dev/hda4 248M 13M 215M 5% /var
On a 200-GB disk, I'd recommend something like the following:
swap 2x RAM
/ 256MB
/usr 10GB
/tmp 256MB
/var 512MB
/home -> the rest.
However, the above can easily change depending upon which distro you
choose to install. I'd recommened the above for most distros, Debian,
Slackware, or for just about any of the BSD OS. Red Hat likes to make a
/boot partition and the put everything else in one big partition. I
don't know what SuSe would try to do, 'cause I've never used it.
If you find yourself wanting disk space for a web server or database,
you can always configure the program to store it's data in /home/. I do
this on my webserver with apache's root set to /home/www and the mysql
datafiles stored in /home/mysql.
