Dont know of a cookbook but think about what you need machine to do. Like if its going to have lots of users you need more /home if it a DB server then where to the DB files go ? /var ? Then need lots of /var, etc If its just your home PC then it dont hurt to make one '/' root partition and just let it all live it there. As for swap I used to use a rule of 2xphysical Ram which I still think is a pretty good rule but these days my machines have plenty ram so dont really get to use much swap. That said disk space is cheap so unless you got small disk give em 2xphsyram or more.
