Ed,
However, Red Hat 7.2 had a funny way of doing it's partitioning. It made
/usr bigger than /home for some reason. I've always had to fix that
whenever I do a 7.2 install. It seems to have been fixed in 7.3 and 8.0
though.

The rules of thumb are (or used to be) in the installation manual...
Obviously if you take all the defaults for partitioning during install,
you'll get Red Hat's "rules of thumb".
