Well, from my expirience I can say that actually you can use /boot, swap and /. Three partitions is enough. The more partitions you create, the less flexible your system is. Usually it meens that you can run out of free space on /opt or /usr ot /tmp or /home or /var filesystems while you have plenty of free space on another filesystems. On the other hand, if you have everything on the / filesystem then that problem is gone.
In case of severe crash most likely you have to recover everything. /boot should be of small size like 32Mb. Swap can be big enough, something like twice an amount of RAM. The rest is for /. > Hi, > as said before there is NO perfect partiotion sheme for everybody.
