The question is how much do you give the operating system :-) Everything
else is /home.
So far 4GB has been suffient for the OS on my Debian GNU/Linux
workstation I'm writing from at the moment. I just checked and I only
have 345MB free. But I also noticed I have 1.8GB of files in
/var/cache/apt/archives. Time to type "apt-get clean" :-) [It's good
having old packages around if things break in Unstable].
In a worse case scenario I would either use a symbolic link and store
some of the OS on another partition or I would use some tools to enlarge
my ReiserFS boot partition.
$ apt-cache search reiserfs
...
reiserfsprogs - User-level tools for ReiserFS filesystems
...
$ apt-cache show reiserfsprogs
...
This package contains utilities to create, check, resize, and debug ReiserFS
filesystems.
...
Using filename completion I find a program called resize_reiserfs
(you'll have to be root for the program to be in your path).
"man resize_reiserfs" gives me all the details.
Regards,
Adam
