Ciao Micha Feigin,

/            smallest as possible (100 : 200 Mb) **
/usr         at least 1 Gb (better 2Gb)
/usr/local   local program and data (it depends on you)
/var         1 Gb ( here go news and apt-get archives)

I suggest you the link:
/home -> /usr/local/home

** because if something goes wrong, you can start in 'linux single' and try
to repair all the rest...

HTH
Ciao
