Types of partitions

[TheCactusKid Cactus]

Hi y'all,
I've got a question. Now I read that there's a /boot, /root, /swap, /user/local & or /user, (don't really understand the difference?) and /home. Are there any others I should know about in a typical installation or is this it? What would be the difference between.... in the line-up that is....from a Workstation and Server class install. (as far as types of partitions) What would be the line-up of either? I know I'm not setting up a server class system but for the heck of it what would be the line-up? Thanks for all the help.
