And if you do this, I would consider using Logical Volume Manager
(LVM) instead of raw hard drive partitions. This will allow you to
resize partitions if you need to.

When I lay out a system, I generally do the following (this is based
on my workstation with a 750GB hard drive, you can mix and match to
taste):
250MB /boot (on a hard drive partition if I encrypt the hard drive --
good for about 8-10 kernels)
1*RAM swap
Remainder of the drive as LVM. Within the LVM, I build a
1GB /
10-15GB /usr
3GB /usr/local
20GB /home (which I have had to grow to 40GB in lieu of cleaning it up :) )
5GB /var
60GB /data
and I still have 533GB in reserve. Obviously, the sizes can be adjusted.
