Finally getting a server setup from an old amd sempron 2ghz 1.5ghz ram computer. There's three hard drives in it, 10gb, 20 or 40gb and a 250gb. Should I make the 10gb my / partition, the 20/40gb my /home and the 250gb the /var or what?

Well for starters, what are you going to use this server for?
Personally, I'd create an LVM Logical Group from the 10 and 20/40gb drives and use them for the system with the following mount points:
4gb /
2gb /var
2gb /tmp
4gb /usr
128mb /boot
Then a second LVM Logical Group with just the 250gb drive and use that to create your /home, /data, /srv, /whatever

It's a basic LAMP server and maybe expand to a mail/dhcp/dns server in the future. I may make it a file server as well, but 250gb isn't no where near enough to store all my crap lol.

Well if you start with a LVM Volume Group with just the 250gb in it, and mount that as /data or /srv or /home (or a combination) then in the future you can add additional hard drives as you need them and expand the LVM without having to reload, or create additional mount points etc.
