Partitioning Advice
I'm installing Debian Woody as the only OS on an IBM PC with a 20 gig hard
drive, 192 megs of ram, and two Ethernet cards. This machine will be my
network gateway and provide DNS, DHCP, Web, and database service for my
small network. Not a lot of users and not a lot of data. I'm a programmer
who just wants a test network to play with. The partition scheme I'm
considering is:
/ 243 Megs
/boot 60 Megs
/home 1 Gig
/usr 16 Gigs
/var 1 Gig
/tmp 1 Gig
/swap 500 Megs
Given the resources and purpose of this machine can anyone see anything
wrong with this? I haven't found a lot of hard do's and don'ts when it
comes to partitioning so I copied this from a machine that has Red Hat
installed and then added the /tmp partition and bumped the /var to handle
large logs. Then I cut the /home down drastically and dumped the rest into
/usr.
Suggestions? Comments? Raucous laughter at my expense?
Thanks,
John Purser
P.S. Another MS server bites the dust!
