You can safely leave /home as part of the /usr filesystem i.e. it will=20
be /usr/home. That will gain you 4gb overall. I usually only define /home i=
f=20
I'm using a separate drive or network filesystem. If you're going to symlin=
k=20
mysql you probibly don't need 4GB in var. My webserver is running @500MB=20
on /var with 10 databases. 1 or 2GB will be plenty.
