This is a really silly but quite important question, how do u determin how you partition your harddrive?
My current desktop machine is small /, large /usr and /home, moderate /var which sometimes gets full because of caches.
The gateway/server here runs LVM on all but / now, which was a pain to set up, but removes the worry about getting it right first time because you can resize the partitions (or add another disk) later. I've not had to put it to the test yet, but I think I didn't leave enough room for CD images.
