Since both /boot & ROOT are tender & precious why not combine them. > /home 1 Gig > /usr 16 Gigs > /var 1 Gig > /tmp 1 Gig > /swap 500 Megs All this looks fine. I prefer to shrink /usr (1-3 gigs) and put my excess space into /hostname. If you feel like you have lots of space I'd split this into 2, having a large /spare. /spare data being expendable, /spare space usable to move/resize your partitions. Another suggestion would be to dual boot linux. Have a gig or a half for a rescue partition. Also consider why you are creating all these partitions. Unless you implement the practices that follow from the reasons, you may as well just have /boot (if you need it) SWAP (I believe swapfiles are still second rate) /home (or /local with homedirs symlinked in) / (for everything else) rob Live the dream.
