I'm not an official source, but I'd lay it out like this: /boot 100MB swap 1024MB / everything else The /boot partition is useful to work around problems some BIOS have with booting a kernel that's too far into the disk (past 8GB, if memory serves). 1GB of swap is generally right for 512MB of memory. Then I just partition the rest as one big / partition. I've found that setting up separate /tmp, /usr, /home and /var partitions is just more trouble than it's worth since you'll inevitably guess wrong about the proper size of each. -sam
