i use: 
	/	64Mb
	/tmp	128Mb
	/var	256M		512Mb if small web server, more if *huge webserver*
	/usr	1024Mb
	/swap	2xRealMemory
	/usr2	everything else	( /home, /opt etc

note that some distro will want  /opt ( usr2 is symlinked to /opt )

- it is important to keep / small as possible ??
- it is important to keep /usr only for system stuff 
- user stuff goes into usr2  ( ln -s /usr2/local /usr/local )

- I only backup /etc ( config stuff ) and /usr2 ( user data ) - maybe /var ( logs )
	evertyhing else is already on cdrom from when you installed
	the system onto the box...

have fun
