First, if you are going to install Fedora, why not use the latest? Release 8 is current and 9 is due in two weeks. 5 is no longer supported in any way. Minimum specs for your VM should be based on what the box will be doing. Running a GUI, 256 min / 512 preferred RAM. If you're just using it for testing applications will no heavy load on it, 1 GB of RAM should work. As for partitions if this is just a basic test system, you can just put everything under one root partition ( / ). Say 20 GB for / and 2*RAM = swap space should be fine. Size it with more RAM if more than a few users will be on it at the same time. If your going to be putting a bunch of apps to test on it (apache, database, dev environment, lots of test data, etc.) increase the size accordingly (40 GB, 60 GB).
