Disk space is cheaper than dirt these days. I recommend:
/boot 20MB
/var 300MB min, 800MB better, more for servers
/ 2GB or more (include /usr and /tmp)
/home whatever you need
swap 500MB or more
On some systems I go with /boot, /, and swap only. I *hate* running
out of space in, say, /var, when /home has gigabytes free...
