This is pretty much how I have mine set up.  / is currently using 615597
out of 1165918 (56%). That's everything including development tools and
source code and user files. /home has has the home directories, a
directory of DOS shares, the ftp root and the root for the Web server.
For a small system with only a few users I don't see the need for more
partitions....
