Mine is 240 GB , which is plenty. Here are my partitions : GB SSD sda 1 boot 1 /boot 2 root 50 / (incl opt usr var) 3 swap 8 swap 5 home 60 /home 6 vault 20 /home/purslow/vault 7 local 20 /usr/local 8 src 10 /usr/src 9 portage 20 /usr/portage (distfiles 5,8) 10 z 35 /z total 224 tmpfs -- /tmp HDD sdb 1 data 20 /home/purslow/... 2 y 300 /y 3 Mint 20 /mnt/mint 5 Mageia 20 /mnt/mageia unused 660 total 1000 All fmt'd Reiser, except sda1 ext2 , sda3 swap , sdb3/5 ext4 'vault' is where I move stuff I'm not using at the moment : work I've finished, downloaded material I haven't got to yet. 'z' is a big hangar where I throw big files around, back-ups etc ; it also contains a tmp dir for emerging LO + FF . 'data' is some extra material I don't use often. 'y' is for back-ups & is not normally mounted. Mint helped when installing Gentoo, Mageia is sentimental : both mb useful to show friends who ask re Linux. All the sizes are really overkill for what I actually use.
