partitioning ratios

question.
does anyone know of the preferred partitioning scheme for fedora core 3?
is there a ratio of space management? I now swap is twice your ram, but what about the others?
for instance.
100 gb hard drive

root 5% = 5 gig
usr 50% = 50 gig
boot 5% = 5 gig
home 10% = 10 gig
ect.

It is really proportioanly to what you are doing. I usually allow 1Gb for /, /var, /opt and swap then 10GB for /usr and the rest for /home. It really depends on if you are storing data or just running lots of applications (as well as many other factors)

I'm looking for two types of configurations.
One would be for a web server with little to nothing else.

and the other would be a developement specific platform.
i would have every compiler, developement kit, etc. on this one.
