I am rather partial to having several / partitions for installing separate distributions. That way I can boot into another installation if I am having trouble. My partitioning scheme looks like this. /boot 100MB / (32 bit debian) 20GB / (64 bit debian) 20GB / (spare used for testing or clean installations) 20GB /home (rest of the disk) There is no swap, but I would throw in a 4GB swap partition if I did it again. It is amazing how quickly you can fill up 4GB ram, how did I ever get buy on 640K? So I think a bit of swap can come in handy whether it's a dedicated partition or just a swap file in some other partition.
