Thanks for the plug. I'm going to update that with the partitioning for
my laptop (one 20G drive rather than three 2G's) for a divergent
viewpoint.
Note that despite comments by others that it's overkill, I *did* in fact
give var roughly 1 GB of space, currently 41% utilized as follows:
1 292200 cache
2 51108 log
3 41353 lib
4 5399 state
5 207 spool
6 86 run
7 32 backups
8 8 mail
9 4 www
10 1 tmp
11 0 lock
12 0 local
...with the bulk of that being apt. Package downloads *can* consume the
better part of a GB of themselves.
