I use the following layout on 5 Debian boxes. All of my machines have
either 16 or 32 megs of memory. One of them has X11R6 on it with a few
X apps; and even that box has over 60MB free on /usr.
/ 32MB
swap 32MB
/usr 256MB
/var 64MB
/tmp 64MB
/home the read of the disk
The root partition could be reduced to 24MB with no real danger of
filling up; but I'd rather spend the 8MB of disk and not have to worry
about it. The partition needing the most thought is /var. You have to
decide how much mail will pass through the box; and if you are going to
allow large, multi-megabyte messages. Given this, you might consider
increasing /var to 96 or 128 megs.
