drive partition on install

[John Dangler]

As a newb to this, I'm installing FC2 on different machines with different
configurations.  My first go with a 'custom' install worked ok, but I want
to see what the different installations actually do differently...

I'm installing FC2 using the 'workstation' installation on a notebook with a
40gb disc, 512mb ram.
Is there a 'recommended' layout for partitioning the drive?
I plan to use the box for development (httpd,php,xml, etc.)

Any thoughts?

Thanks
