Well now that really depends on what your going to have installed on the server. Will it handle mail? mysql or other databases ? web serving, etc ? Will you have any control panel system installed on this system ? Here's an example of one of my systems which handles everything: /dev/hda6 1012M 238M 723M 25% / /dev/hda1 244M 21M 210M 9% /boot /dev/hda7 91G 19G 68G 22% /home none 1004M 0 1004M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda5 2.0G 33M 1.8G 2% /tmp /dev/hda2 9.7G 2.9G 6.3G 31% /usr /dev/hda3 9.7G 1.8G 7.5G 19% /var Generally a 512 - 1 GB is enough for tmp. The size of each really depends upon what software you'll have installed and where it places its files. -- Beau Henderson http://www.iminteractive.net On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 17:41:30 +0100, Håvard Hebnes <centos at kral.no> wrote: > Any recomendations how big they should be?
