I use 3 on an x86 by default, 4 if I want to seperate /home:
1) about 5MB /boot -> first partition on the drive to steer clear of that
cyllindar 1023 issue on x86's.
2) Most of the disk for /
3) swap.. I do twice my RAM.. but it gets to a point where it's just overkill.
I have 128MB RAM, and 256MB swap.. I rarely touch the swap
partition.
4) /home.. space taken from /. If I have 10GB for / and I want a 4GB
/home... I make / 6GB and /home 4GB, etc.
If you have multiple disks.. then the setup goes a lil differently.. but
it all depends on what kind of system you have... and what the setup will
be. Servers will want to seperate /home onto a seperate partition and set
quotas. They'll also want to seperate other parts of the system that will
possibly fill with data quickly upon errors (parts of /var for example).
