I’m installing Red hat linux to experiment on a try and learn all about it. What partitions should I start with as it will be a Linux server!
Bloody hell Scoob’s - where you been ? 
Hope you are well
What size HD has your linux server got?
I’ve been finishing my COmp Sci degree but I’m Alive now and I can write BSc(Hons) after my name!
I’m only planning on a small machine for testing so about 20 gig at most!
I was thinking
/usr
/dev
/etc
/bin
/lib
I was gonna learn Linux by setting up a honeypot but don’t tell the bosses 
TBH just have a single partition and format that with all the space.
Obviously you will need some swap space (I usually have 2 x RAm as my swap space). Some linux distro require a small partion to boot from (e.g. RH) thus a 75M /boot partition is advisable.
<swap> 512M
/boot 75M
/ Everything else
