[RndTbl] files system & partitions

Can I have some advice on which
part of the file system to install
in which partition?
For example:
 Is there any advantage to install
/root in its own partition?
Would it be more secure?
 I'm thinking of giving
/usr   its own partition incase
some application gets nasty.
/home  would get a separate partition
and everything else would go
into a 4th partition.
  Does this sound OK? I hope
Red Hat 7.2 allows me to do this if
I pretend to be an 'expert'.
  Any advice would be much appreciated.
