I usually setup my partitions like this for a workstation/smb
server install. I have two 4 GB HDDs.
swap - 128MB
/ - 300MB
/usr - 3GB (depending on the size of your HDD)
/home - 4GB the rest usually around
You might want to have more mount points if you are using
the server for web serving or a hardcore server. You are most
likely to get a little extra security if you put the files you are
serving on a seperate HDD than your Linux system files, i.e. if
you are serving out of /home/httpd, then mount that on a
seperate HDD.
