Well, to start with, make /home a separate partition.  Preferably on a
separate drive, but at least a separate partition.  For the shared
partition, make it a FAT32 partition.  Beyond that, a couple GB for swap
(depending on your usage needs...but best to have at least some swap
IMO) and the remainder for /.
