Not knowing your level of knowledge, the following link might contain more
or less usefull information: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html

Furthermore, most of the times it is a good idea to have the / (root),
/home, /usr and /var directories on different partitions. THere's a lot of
info out there on the net.
