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? :)
