Well, generally what I do in deciding the size of /usr/local and /usr/opt
is, how many programs do you plan to install on top of linux? Most
everything you add after distro (Unless a system file) will be installed in
/usr/local/blah.
If you plan to leave it alone, I wouldn't worry about it... if you're
planning on installing Oracle, I'd strongly suggest it :)

Subject: [newbie] Server partitions
I'm doing a custom server install of Mandrake 6.1 for our office and was
wondering about some partitions and their sizes. The server will only be
accessed by 15 users (Win & Mac) for basic fileshare and some
scheduling/calendar app (Netscape). Anyway, I have a 9.1 gig drive and
have;
/boot - 23 meg
/ - 500 meg
/tmp - 200 meg
/var - 200 meg
/usr -1500 meg
/home - 6000 meg
/swap - 250 meg
My question is, do I need /usr/local or /usr/opt, and if so how big? If
I do have /usr/local, does /usr need to be as big as it is?
Please feel free to suggest anything, I could use the help.
Victor
