300M for /boot? Be seriour :-)) How about 30M for boot, rest for swap? Sounds more useful to me.

Folks,
I will install linux in a computer with a hard disk with12GB and 256MB of memory. I want to create partitions to /boot, / (root), /var, /tmp, /usr, /home, swap. What is the best size for each one ?
This computer will be a work station, not a server. I will develop applications on it.
/boot 75M swap 500M /home 7G / the rest
You need a separate /boot and it doesn't need all that much room, but this is plenty for at least 3 kernel versions. You can afford to blow 500M for swap, you may or may not ever need it. Unless you start loading every application in the world, 4.5G should be enough for the system files and tmp and logs. Keep all non-system related files (pics, music, projects your working on, mail, etc) in directories under your home. When you decide to upgrade to 8.1 or whatever, the only partition that needs any changes will be / and /boot. All your personal files should not need to be affected by an upgrade. With this approach, you can even decide to do a complete reinstall and as long as you don't let it rebuild your home partition, your personal files will be safe.
