I'd set up reasonnable system partitions (depending on what you'll install)
such as
50/100 MB for /boot
2/4GB for /
swap (twice ram)
then use LVM for the rest. with LVM you'll be able to increase/decrease
partitions size seamlessly

I see a couple of problems already. /boot should be no more than 100MB.
Anything more is a waste. / should be way more than 500MB. I know that
some will say I run my entire Linux box on a 486DX66 and 250MB HD!
Well, this is RH8 and given what you're
.
Now I have to go read up on LVM to see if I can add it to the mix.
Thanks again!

I've not played with LVM myself, but it would certainly give you
flexibility. If I don't find a buyer for my HP Netserver, I may just
play with LVM myself. For a relatively static server, though, I
on two drives, would Linux
use either/both and therefore be somewhat resilient in case of a drive failure?
Just curious. Thanks!

Partitioning can be a subjective thing since it depends, in part, on
what you intend to do with the machine. If, for instance, you intend to
have a sizable user base, then you want to have plenty of /home space.
Regardless, most people new to Linux make the mistake of not making /usr
and /var

I typically partition as follows:
/boot - can be very small, around 50-75MB. I think RH8 recommends 75mb.
/ - I like to make this fairly large, but not the largest since it
houses everything not specified elsewhere.
/home - If you intend to have lots of users or share
