However much you need. It's easier to expand a filesystem than it is to
shrink one, so you might want to take what you're using now and add 20-30%.
I have 5G for /var (some things expand to about 1G when portage is building
them) and 6G for /usr (friends come and go, programs accumulate).

You could do LVM, then. Read the HOWTO and understand it first before you try
that, though.

Hm. Typically, if you have to write drivers for hardware, the project isn't
ready for non-hobbyist use.

This is a difficult thing to do since so many extant programs don't have
source available, and the places that own the source are not interested in
porting. Ah well, HTH,
