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?
