About to go all Deb

[John Anderson <johnga@btinternet.com>]

Hi, All

I am relatively new to Linux, been running Mandrake 9.0 for about a fortnight, 
and after lots of reading I have decided to move to Debian.

I have a 80gig drive, and when I installed Mandrake, I let it have its 
defaults for drive mapping which was .........

/dev/hda1   mount /	5.3gig
/dev/hda5	 mount /swap	243meg
/dev/hda6   mount /home	68 gig

When I get to installing Debian, I would like to do things differently with 
regard to drives. After reading a lot about this, there seams to be no 
optimum for a system, ie its down to user preference, and what he wants the 
system for.

Any way to cut a long story short I have come up with the following, and would 
appreciate thoughts and guidence.

/boot		20meg
/		4gig
/var		8gig
/tmp		2gig
/usr		5gig

/swap	??? 750meg ram, and from what I have read it should equal the ram up to 
256meg

/home	what ever is left
