lots of optional stuff loaded. As a result, I find 8GB for /usr is just

Oh, if you're doing that, you probably want /usr/local separate too, for the
same reason you want /home split off. (In fact, on my own systems, I usually
make /usr/local a symlink to /home/local.)
For the various dbs in the system, /var/www, etc., 2GB for /var is
also
just barely enough. In fact, I like to have at least 1GB for /var/tmp,
separately.
Sure -- if you've got that stuff, you're not a typical desktop system. (And
this is why there's /srv, by the way. /var/www is icky.)
A separate partition for /tmp is usefully when something tries to
fill
/tmp, because it does not end up filling / . So I like to give it 1GB.
Careful with that -- you don't want to end up with files from the boot
process covered up in the /tmp mountpoint....
Speaking of / , I have been giving it a full 1GB. That's
convenient for
updating the kernel and leaving an old kernel or two behind.
An old kernel or twenty. :)
