/home, don't forget that partition. That's where user's home directories and
files go, plus the Apache HTML files and ftp stuff by default. It's nice to
be able to keep it on a separate partition for backups and when you
reinstall.
By trial and error, I've ended up with this partitioning scheme:
/boot 10-20MB (uses very little space, but it's necessary on >8GB HDs)
/ 300MB (I'm sloppy and store quite a few things in my /root directory)
/home 1GB
/var 500MB (mostly filled with Squid's cache files)
/usr the rest.
/opt can be an idea, but I just symlink it to /usr.
The exact sizes of the partitions depend of course on your hard disk.
