Unless this machine is dedicated for something specific ie FTP/web I usually 
go with a VERY basic partition scheme.
/boot   50MB
/swap 250 -500 MB
/ for everything else, this way your systems delegates to the needed 
directories.  I know there are reasons for partitioning so in depth, but for 
my use this schema works great.
--cgb
