    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
