I'm running Gentoo on my laptop, I've got a 30GB hd and 768MB of ram.

hda1 Primary Linux ext3 10239.87
hda2 Primary Linux ext3 8023.75
hda3 Primary Linux ext3 10739.96
hda4 Primary Linux swap 1002.26
hda1 is the / directory, hda3 is my home directory. hda2 is used for miscellaneous
experiments (other distros, other O/S, temporary file storage, etc.).
Some people like the set a partition aside for the /boot directory, but I don't: it
gets to cluttered for my retentiveness.
At the very minimum, I recommend separate partitions for the /, /home, and swap
partition. 10GB should be plenty for a / directory. 'They' say your swap file
should be be 1-2x as big as the amount of system memory; however, my swap file is
rarely used. The size of the /home partition should be big enough to hold your MP3s. ;)
