Partitioning a hard drive for Linux

[Richard Salts]

I am going to put RH Linux 6.0 (is that the correct name for it?) on my
hard drive(s).  How much room on the drive should I allow for Linux to
have?  Should I  be a bit generous and allow some extra room for it and if
so, how much for that and if all that is allowed what would be the final
partition size?  Can anyone tell me?  I am not used to doing this as I have
most always run my machines (I have two computers) with only one OS.  Any
information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
