Well now that really depends on what your going to have installed on
the server. Will it handle mail? mysql or other databases ? web
serving, etc ? Will you have any control panel system installed on
this system ?
Here's an example of one of my systems which handles everything:
/dev/hda6 1012M 238M 723M 25% /
/dev/hda1 244M 21M 210M 9% /boot
/dev/hda7 91G 19G 68G 22% /home
none 1004M 0 1004M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda5 2.0G 33M 1.8G 2% /tmp
/dev/hda2 9.7G 2.9G 6.3G 31% /usr
/dev/hda3 9.7G 1.8G 7.5G 19% /var
Generally a 512 - 1 GB is enough for tmp. The size of each really
depends upon what software you'll have installed and where it places
its files.
