Here's what I did,
60 GB hdd, %50 ntfs (win xp pro sp2)
the rest if for SuSE 9.1 Pro, and here's the breakdown:
2.1 GB for /opt, at 76.9% utilization
18.6 GB for /home at 37.8% utilitization (has grown from install, and more room for it to grow.)
5.4 GB for /usr at 57.5% utilization
2.1 GB for / at 15.3% utilization
250.7MB for /boot at 7.4% utilization (where the kernel is stored, I think)
517.7MB for /var at 43.0% utilization (I believe most logs are in /var
the rest (I think, if you do the math it's 1.5 GB) is for swap partition.
I don't think my tmpfs is pointing to that though, it looks like it's pointing to /dev/shm.
Anyhow, I *may* re-partition these again, with the exception of /home so the rest of the bars are at %50 which would look pretty cool in kdiskfree.
But, I may not do that.
I did research on the net, and the percentages I came up with from others are what I went with for this setup.
YMMV, of course, and again good luck!
