# SYSADMIN HOWTO This is a collection of information and recipes, largely for my own benefit, put together over the years in relation to sysadmin tasks, primarily on Linux (Debian) machines. ## Partition Sizes /boot 100MB # might be a good idea and so little space it does not matter / 30%/30GB /home 70% /swap # Additional possibility is to create separate partition for /var # However, not sure this is that useful. # It splits up / and if you want to store something here that you want to keep # across reinstalls of the core (data etc) then move it to /home and symlink /var
