Hi
The biggest partition used is usually /usr .Especailly if you're gonna
compile a lot,most of the dev-libraries and headers will go there.Other
than that,all depends on waht you're planning to do.So I'd say be
generous with /usr and /home ( around 3 GB for /usr and 1GB for /home
should be fine).
You can start with one partition,leave free sapce and mount them
afterwards as needed.I usualy start with a 2 GB partition,then move the
/usr as stuff keep piling-up,then /home . You can check the directory
space usage with du .Also df will give you a general report ,partition
wide.
