As regarding the partitioning, I would recommend using LVM2. Then no 
matter how you might mess up your partitioning in the beginning you can 
change it to suit your needs by resizing it on the fly - live - without 
rebooting or even unmounting.


Check the official guide as well as gentoo-wiki.com for more about LVM2.

fdisking is just so 1980's - even microsoft is using LVMs these days 
(forget what they call it though) - and they pretty much adopt ever hot 
technology absolutely dead last (IP, for example).

I'll second using LVM2.  I had to read the documentation a couple
times before I got it but it beats the old way of partitioning.
