Recommend a partition for Plesk

Hi Guys,

Can someone recommend me a partion for Plesk. I'm running on RHEL 4 and planning to install Plesk 7.5.4 on the server.

I have 146 gig of harddisk (about 139 gig after formatting i guess)

What is the best way for me to partition my server?

thanks for now.
 
Suggestion:
/boot -> 100-200MB
/tmp -> 1 GB
/swp -> 2x your memory, max 2GB
/ -> whats left....
 
how about /var? I hear /var good for security reasons?
 
if you want a seperate /var then make it big cos mail/mysql and since 7.5.4/centos4 also the vhosts are located on this partition.

I wouldn't make a seperate /var.
