<p><br>Always partition the disk, it makes life so much easier. </p>
<div> </div>
<div>I prefer to partion as follows:</div>
<div>/ = 10 - 20GB</div>
<div>/home = 10 GB, unless your application will use this</div>
<div>/swap = 4GB</div>
<div>/var = 10GB - gives you enough space for plenty log files</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Use LVM, which allows you to shrink & grow partitions on the fly. </div>
