At Sun, 16 Oct 2005 it looks like Teo De Las Heras composed:

> Based on recommendations here is how I'm going to partition the two FreeBSD

> mail, print, web, and file server
> Part Size

> /usr 15G - Ports live in usr
> /tmp 256M
> (swap) 2G - paging file
> /var 10G - print spool, db files, other log files??
> /var/mail 10G - for all mail files and easy backup
> /www 5G - Web server - I'm going to have a lot of content
> /home 50G - for all user files
> *The rest of the space I'll leave unused in case I need to grow a partition
