If possible, it's even better to take it a step further by making your OS reside on a completely seperate disc. This makes OS and machine upgrages/changes very easy.
This is especially useful if you are running a green 1TB drive. These drives are not optimized for speed but for energy usage. Because of this, they are better suited as data drives rather than OS drives. If you do put the OS and data on the same drive, then yes, make the OS partition as small as you can. I have my OS (Open SuSE 11.0) running on an 8GB flash drive and it is only 1/3 full. I don't have all of the desktop stuff installed though. For a server, you don't really need it. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver. SuSE 11.0 Server running SqueezeCenter 7.3.3, MusicIP, and SqueezeSlave.
