[ale] Partitions

[Alan Bowman]

I have a question on partitions - I've just gotten back from the
SuperCompterSale at the Galleria, with a nice new 800Mhz AMD Duron
machine. It's got all the bells and whistles I could ever hope for, and
a 20Gb HDD.  I know to most of you that sounds fairly small, but please
understand that it's taken me nearly 4 years to get to 80% capacity on
the 4Gb drive in my current machine (P166 w/Slack7).  So, my question:
how should I partition this drive? How much for /, for /usr, for /home,
and so on?  If I could get a few examples, I'd much appreciate it. 

Thanks, 
...alan
