Partitioning system on a Slackware server


I'm installing Slackware on my server that will host a Tor hidden services. I won't do any illegal stuff. I will probably use it also for hosting files.

I'm partitioning system at the moment. I want to put LVM on LUKS.

I'm reading https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/s...o/cha3.en.html and I've a few questions:

- Should I encrypt boot partition? I want to be sure that kernel is legimitate but I'm not sure whether LILO support that feature.
- Should I separate /tmp, /usr/local, /opt, /var, /var/log and /var/tmp partitions? Which sizes are recommended for root partition and others assuming I have got 55.9 GiB HDD?
- Should I use --use-random or --use-urandom while formatting partition by luksFormat?

- You can encrypt boot partition, but you have to use GRUB2. And just to let you know, someone still can play with your loader to get what he is looking for. So this is not much more secure.

- I don't run a tor service so I don't know. But at least /var would be a good idea.

- urandom

Why don't you use README_CRYPT.TXT ?
