Hi all,
Does anybody know what an ideal partitioning scheme be for a small multi-site home web server and if anything I need to remember about the same.

The default really should be fine for this!
you might want to have a separate partition for your files in /home but not essential.

The problem is what is the default?
For a desktop I usually do
/ - for everything else
/boot - for a separate boot partition
/home - for my stuff
swap - 1.5 times the memory .
Now for webserver I guess
/var - for one can put the files there . Isn't /var/www/ supposed to be where one puts files for the webserver
/var/log :- Where all the logs
So /var probably a separate partition and it should be big (I'm guessing)
The other things apart from apache would be ssh, ftp and dns which I would also need to configure right?
I know these are 2 different questions but wanna get a hang of what things are needed & what I need to do before-hand
