I like to keep my data away from my server install. In a server situation, I allocate about 1.5Gig to /, 6 Gig to /usr, some swap, and all the rest to /export, where all my data is (websites, /var, /home). That gives me 50% full / and /usr - I mount /usr read-only to trip up any rootkits. I could do a fresh install of the server without touching my data. All the wide open space is on /export.
