If you don't do much compiling you can do away with / and swap only, but watch out for fragmentation. Regarding the swap size you do not have to follow the 2*RAM=swap(rule?), no swap (if the ram can handle your workset) or whaterver*RAM=swap is fine. If you like something complicated that can allow for granularity with mount options : / swap /tmp (own mount partition or tmpfs or /tmp -> /dev/shm ) /var /usr /home /anythingelseyouwant /var/tmp -> /tmp /usr/tmp -> /tmp --ed
