For a workstation I use:
/ 50Mo
/usr 500Mo
swap 150Mo
and the rest for /home.
If you have enouth memory you can put /tmp on MFS.
For a server, I'll do a separate /var, size depends on what kind of server
it is.
Well, /usr may be a bit small if you like big binary packages (the only
big one I use is TeX, I'm perfectly happy with vi :)
