I am setting up a generic Ubuntu server and am trying to figure out the (best) way to partition the machine. Again, this is just a generic one:
The default drive is 20GB.
Some guides show: Separate /home, /usr, /var and /tmp partitions
Another one suggested something like this: / 4GB /boot 512MB /tmp 1GB /home 5GB /usr 5GB /var 5GB
What is the best way to accomplish this?
