Hello,
This is a desktop system that I'm planning the partitioning scheme for.
OK. I hadn't thought about software suspend. So 1.5 GB swap it is! I had initially chosen 256MB because, not even the full 768 MB of RAM was used when running KDE 3.4, a movie in Kaffein and "update world" in the background! 0 MB of swap was used. Back then I had 1.2GB of swap.
As for /home, it doesn't matter right now. I'm just interested in managing the space for the system properly first. The rest of the space will go to /home.
As for keepwork... well, I'll be cleaning the cache manually. But anyways, it isn't really required. I could do without it easily.
Also, I don't think I'll be installing any binary packages. So, how much do I give for /opt? Or rather, how much space would Java take up?
/usr won't be below 7GB...
Thanks for all who've replied so far, but I would surely love more input. :)
