Unless you have a pretty good reason (shared server with access for many people, and/or running lots of different apps) just go with two partitions "swap and "/"). And/or use LVM and a resizable filesystem like reiserfs or ext3 on resizable logical volumes.

I would recommend going with three partitions: "swap," "/," and "/home." Upgrades are much easier with this setup because you won't wipe out your personal configuration files in "/home" when upgrading from one version to the next (assuming you do a fresh install, which is the route I take). Rich
