Sven,
I see. Thanks! Are those "bios_grub" or "EFI system" partitions
located inside the GPT scheme, i.e. inside the first ~16KiB of the
disk and it is not seen with gdisk? In addition, if this small area
after the last partition is also for alignment purposes, then where is
the backup GPT stored?

No.
Bootloaders store their code in a special "bios_grub" partition (type
EF02) when using the CSM/BIOS boot mode or inside a EFI System
partion when using EFI
nInstaller should display the
"FREE SPACE" area before the first partition also in case the MBR
partition scheme is chosen?
2) Am I correct that boot loaders use their code on this area after
the primary GPT and before the first partition?
3) Are the last 689 sectors after the last partition

Isn't it better to go 64bit and to use the life installer CD? It might
make more sense to go 64bit when you do programming. And I've seen

That should be ok. However, it's been a long time that I used IDE

Hi Wolf,
Ok thanks.
The sizes look sane.
2*ram=swap If your machine hibernates, all the contents of ram goes to swap.
15GB / plenty of space.
.5GB Boot partition. Safe enough, but every 3 months or so, check capacity
with df -h as the drive can fill up with old Linux images.
The rest for home files makes sense as wel
Wally,
looks like an ok partitioning scheme. Having /home on its own partition
means you can keep its contents even if you change the linux installed.
Personally, I don't use a /boot partition; I just use / and /home.

Hello.
What partition scheme is the best for a VPS (MTA + web server)?
According to the guide [1] I should use something like this:
