The recommended partitioning scheme for the current popular linux distros
are almost the same ... or maybe they are all the same.
For your /boot it has to be enough to contain your distro's boot information
commonly ~100MB.
Your swap should be 2X or 3x you available RAM, say for eample you have
256MB of RAM recommended is 512MB or above.
Now some other distros are particular about their partitioning scheme aside
from the basics above but it'll all boil down to one which is your root
partition / where you'll most likey alot the remaining space.
I say, read the specific distro installation instruction you'll find more
detailed info on this.

Hi,
What should I observe when partitioning a HD?
What are the correct sizes for each partition?
Is there a certain percentage that I should a lot for a specific partition

For example I have a 20 Gig HD.
Thanks.
