Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5             493M  206M  262M  44% /
/dev/hda1             100M   24M   71M  25% /boot
/dev/hda3             6.8G   85M  6.3G   2% /home
none                  156M     0  156M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2              19G  2.0G   15G  12% /usr
/dev/hda6            1003M   60M  892M   7% /var

this was from a non-production test box on RH8 with default 
value.  this is full install.  it all depends on what you 
want to use it for.
