disk partition

Are there any 'rules of thumb' to follow when partitioning a disk for linux? In
the past, I have always partitioned my disk by defining mount points for /,
/boot, /opt, /var /usr, /usr/local, /tmp and /home separately. I would define
swap space at 2x physical RAM. However, I always guessed at the sizes for each
partition, except for /home, for which I would set the 'grow to fill disk'
option.

I have just started playing with RH 8, so I'm looking for method to eliminate
the guesswork. Any suggestions are appreciated.

regards,

shane.
