Mine is quite different. I partition the disks: 1 / 2 /usr 3 swap 4 extended 5 /var 6 /home 7 /tmp 8 /usr/local
I also move any changed /etc files into /usr/local/etc and then symlink them back to /etc so that if I do a re-install I can exclude /home and /usr/local from the install and I don't lose local settings/stuff or my altered configs.
