I agree with David. I used to spend hours working on a partition plan often to wind up with out of space situations at inconvenient moments. In practice / and swap have been enough. No point in huge amounts of swap either. Unwinding from bad memory situations can be a nightmare.
Security from the outside is best addressed first at the gateway router. Security from the inside is best addressed by keeping all users within reach of a baseball bat. I only allow remote virtual users access via chrooted ftp. How many system manglers does one need?
