Disk space is cheap. Size is the least of your worries. Although for a
small site, 20 gigs is plenty. I wouldn't get less than that though.
In a pinch you could probably do it with 5 gigs, but why? It's cheap,
and expansion room is good.

Depends on the drive size, but as a minimum:
10 megs for /boot
500 megs for /
4 gigs for /var - that's where your logs and probably your database data
files will go. Be sure you have plenty of room there. If the DB is
marge make it even bigger.
500 megs for /tmp - that's probably WAY more than you'll need but don't
skimp, space is cheap
3 gigs for /usr - that will allow a full install of RH7 plus a bunch of
update RPMs
2 gigs for /usr/local - non RPM software, most of which you'll compile
yourself. MySQL will probably go there, as will Apache if you compile
it instead of using RPMs.
5 gigs for /home -- that's where your HTML files will go --
/home/httpd/html, unless you change the default. Plus your personal
account home directory, which should have plenty of space.
256MB or so of swap
I guess someone will speak up if I'm missing something. :-) I don't
suppose you'll need /opt, but just in case you might want to give it a
gig or two.
