Well, /opt and /usr can be calculated (yast does it) Or if you want it Q&D, install the whole bunch as you think you might need it, with just a root partition, have a look what you need, and re-install it properly (opt & usr at 75%) /srv you can also plan ahead (mysql, apache, ldap, tftp, ...) /home is always a surprise /tmp auto-purge weekly /var/log is your own admin responsibility to keep tidy btw, i did mean ext3 for small partitions that varies, not ext2 or reiser: journaling is nice for systems that change. But a 100MB reiser-FS is filled for 30% with internal datastructures. For large partitions (>250GB) ext is a pita), it takes ages to make.
