[SGVLUG] Newbie question

Hi, all -

I'm a newbie to the list and to Linux.

I've been tasked with setting up Linux box for the primary purpose of
running an app called PHPList.  This requires:
*A Linux Server
* Apache Webserver
* PHP version 4.3.x (or higher)
* Mysql database server (version 3.23 or up)

I have RHE 4WS which includes rpms for Apache 2x, PHP and MySQL, and
I've been reading Mark Sobell's "Practical Guide to Red Hat Linux" and
have figured out that I probably want to install SELinux, but I also
thought it might be a good idea to create separate partitions for
various things.

My question is: with one 3GB SCSI drive and one 18GB SCSI drive, and
knowing what I want to do, what partitions would you recommend I create
and what sizes would you recommend for those partitions?


Sincerely,

Zachary Abbott
