Do you think 12 GB is too much or too little? I agree with the likely
usage, and your figures for /usr sound about right. Allow 1 GB for the
rest of the system, and 1 GB for such things as /boot, swap, and various
formatting overheads, and you're left with 12 GB.
The original poster will probably want that for user data: it should
therefore be /home.
