I have a root, /usr, /var, and swap.  The root partition is rather
small, /usr is a gig, and /var is 5 gig.  Everything like /tmp, /home,
and so on get symlinked into /var.  /usr rarely changes, so I can back
it up only when I install something new, /var contains only data, so it
gets backed up regularly.

Single-user systems would probably divide
their space differently... but my Linux box is a mailing list server,
and most of /var will go toward list archives and web sites.  If this
were an X server with lots of user applications, I'd probably swap the
sizes of /usr and /var.
