Hello!

What would be a reasonable partition size on which to install SBS 2003 and
have the expected room for an upgrade to at least R2, perhaps even the
next version of SBS?

Dell's default is 12GB, which to me is too small, even after moving
Exchange and SBS folders (clientapps, etc) to another partition.

Just looking for rough estimates!

I'm pretty sure a TS newsgroup isn't the best place for this question (as
you can't run TS on SBS2003 anyway).... perhaps
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs would be a better place.

I never stick with preinstalled server OSes....20GB would be nice and give
you a lot of wiggle room, esp. if you are careful to install a lot of the
SBS stuff to another drive/partition.
