Partition Size

[Oliver Leitner]

i dont see the /usr in your calculations...

asside of that...

it really depends on what youre going to do with the system, or which data 
its going to be holding...

this is absolutely subjective, cant tell you as long as i dont get any 
further data on the probably size of your data, and where theyll be stored...
