There's a short FAQ on GNU/Linux system partitioning you may find
useful, at:
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/partition.html
You should be able to put most of your primary system on the two 4GB
drives: /, /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr/local.
I'd split the 20GB between /home and /var/lib/postgres if your database
gets large.
Peace.
