we could start some massive flame wars here if we
wanted to! :-)

But, to continue with what Kevin is saying,  the
absolute truth is: play with it if you can, then see
what works best for you. (I teach linux classes, and
the best partition scheme that I have found for _that_
situation is to have a big / partition, and a swap
partition.  For first time linux users, it works
great, and it agrees with the default M$ installs they
are used to.  But for production use you definitely
would change them).
