Depends on if you choose correct sizes

Depends on what you install and how you use the computer

The "best" choice I've found is:
/boot = 5meg
swap = 64meg (I've 64meg memmory)
/ = all the rest
Over time you can look at how big the various trees are and then
decide whats best for you.
Also, what I find very useful is to have a minimum install of the
os on a seperate partition. That way I can boot into linux and
repair the main OS filesystem. The partition size is about 40 meg.
Good Luck
Terry
