Linux Partitioning

[Dan]

Hi,
I am new to linux. I am wanting to know how I should split up my hard
drive as far as / , /boot , /usr ,etc. Overall my laptop has a 2gig
drive but i am wanting to keep windoz (for windoz apps) on half. I have
already used partition magic to create a linux native partition of 1
gig. I have not decided which dist of linux i am going to install, i
have both RH 6.1 and Caldera 2.3. Any help is appreciated.
thanks
dan
