or (d) you are on a busy webserver which logs to /var. I have /var slices
(eh, partitions in linux-speak) of 30 GB on some machines.
A webserver of this kind shouldn't act as mailserver, though.
For partition sizing I'm usually taking 100-200MB for /, 1-2G for swap, 200m
for /tmp, 2-4G for /usr, /home dependant of server usage 100m up to >10G an
at least 10G for /var (or 1G for /var and at least 10G for /var/log).

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
