How should I partition my 4GIG Seagate?

If I were you I would partition it as such:
200MB Root partition
32MB Swap (bigger? doubt it)
1GB User files
(remainder) Applications (/usr/local stuff)
You may even want an additional (secondary) root partition. I believe that
Linux's primary installation would PROBABLY (?) not grow beyond 200MB (it's
currently ~100MB). By partitioning this way, backup is a breeze, maintenance
is easier, etc.
Unix does not have clusters. It is a lot more intelligent handling disk
allocation than dos. Don't worry about it.
