I have a feeling that the OP is newly converted from M$ Windoze world,
where 10G partition is nothing, and would be fill up by silly bloated
Windoze apps very soon. But Linux is totally different.
Years after years, my root partition is only 3G, which hold every single
package that I wanted. Just recently I increased it to 4G, not because
I've run out of space, but I'm partitioning for the next 5 years. :-)
My /home is on another partition, and /opt too, which hold
non-debian packages or packages that I compiled myself.
