For a workstation, you'd be okay with just a /, /home (for all your user files), /usr/local (for custom compiles), and possibly a /archive (for backup copies). The last install I did was Mandrake 7.2 on a testbox that has 2 hard drives, both with less than 2 GB of space, so I did a / on the small 820MB, and a /usr on the larger 1.2 GB drive -- and managed to fit everything, with space left over (/ was only 12% full, /usr was around 50% or 60% full). Of course, I'll have to re-do it again anyways, since the 2 4 GB drives in our server will get swapped out for 2 20 GB drives soon.
