I think 200 megs is overkill here, but since you have the space, it's your chance. [gaddis:jeremy]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 242M 35M 195M 15% / When I installed Debian on this system, I allocated ~250 megs for /, which, looking back, was way too much. Its only using 35 megs, and I don't really expect it to ever make it to 50 megs. Now, I wish I had only made it 50 megs, because I could use that other 200 megs elsewhere. > /usr = 1 GB > /usr/local = 500 MB (is this where stuff like StarOffice, Netscape, WP8 > would go?) Yep.

Again, thanks! The only thing is you have 64 megs of swap on each drive. This is a total of 256 megs. Linux will not make use of more than 128 megs, unless you're running a 2.2.x kernel. I'd suggest making each swap partition 16 megs, for a total of 64. This would suit you just fine, unless you will have lots of memory hogging apps running. In that case, I'd make each 32 megs, for a total of 128 megs.
