Well, /var needs to be huge because apt-get downloads to there and
isn't clever enough to download/install/flush to fit the size of the
parititon.
I would say it should be from 200MB to 800MB. Actually, what I do is
what is advocated in the large disk howto, that is:
/var -> /disk/sda4/var
/home -> /disk/sda4/home
Where /disk/sda4 is the mount point for a 4GB disk.

Not really. I my system (sparc) that returns 493.
