I would go way beyond that. Don't users install additional
applications?
I have more than 30GB of applications installed, though I will admit
that is probably far from typical. I think for under 80GB of space, it
should be a single partition. Over that, if you are going to go for
this
crazy scheme ;), make / at least 20G.
However, as a user, I can say that I will always use a single partition
(as I have been doing since my HPUX and Solaris days).
I have a lot, really a lot of applications installed and here is my df -h
/dev/sda6 7,4G 6,1G 1,3G 83% /
I'm talking about live cd + lots of additional software.
What did you do? Install everything from DVD and then go to town on
fedora repos? :)
No, I'm referring to non-fedora software. Some of it is commercial, like
Matlab and VHDL simulators. But there is quite a lot of free software
engineering software available, typically used by engineering students,
that can take up a couple of GBs per app.
For example, take a look at the free single file download here:
http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/i92linwp.htm
A whopping 1.7GB.
From few non-free apps I installed I saw that there is usually the
option to install it to /opt or /home/user/bin directories, right?
I guess that students using this software know this and so make /opt and
/home a separate partitions with enough space for their non-free apps.
