This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_z9Hd2PuCCVkcWhmbb0Z5hQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I want to create a web server for a few personal web sites (virtual named hosts) using Apache, Perl, PHP and MySQL. Maybe later using mod_perl and ssl. No mail servers or other complicated stuff, just a plain-vanilla web server for the general public and an average visitor traffic of below 1000 per day. I have 40G to use up on an AMD Sempron 1300+ with 512MB and was just wondering what would be a good way to divvy up the partitions. I was thinking something like this: SWAP 1024M / 1057M /db 6.3G /usr 24G /var 4.2G /www 42G I've heard arguments for and against a separate /db and/or /tmp partition as well as using a /home. Also I see that there is a /usr/local/www directory already so perhaps the /www partition is not required. Is a separate /db partition really needed? I'm pretty confused and would like to setup my web server the right way once and for all. Are there any standard recipes and/or guides to figuring this out or is it just a bunch of guess work? How does this look? -- Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands --Boundary_(ID_z9Hd2PuCCVkcWhmbb0Z5hQ)--
