LINUX SERVER PREP

This time I think I'll use "parted" to get my Windows partition sorted before I bowl headlong into partitioning. I used it with another system and it worked fine. I've got forty gig to play with so I thought I'd give 10 to Windows and split the rest up on Fedora into a partitioning of:
/boot at around 100mb, / at around 4gb, /usr at around 2gb, /swap 300mb, and home the rest. Although I thought it would be good to use lvm for partitions so that I could vary them as needed. I feel like I'm running blind as usual, going on what I work out from what I search out on the web.
