How does one know how much space to allow for the / partition then if 
you place new applications in that space?

then what are the 3.9gb spaces that are mostly empty, like tmpfs.  
Aren't they on the / partition.  And if not, where?  That is over 23gb 
of space.  What would you recommend for a / partition size?  Can I use 
the partition feature and take space from another partition to add to 
the / partition?
