Depends what you want, but for simplicity I recommend two partitions, 2x RAM for your swap, and the rest / is really all you need. Personally I have about 6GB for / and the rest for /home and swap. The theory is, when I upgrade or install a different distro I don't format /home and don't lose all my user data. I'm getting worried though, I'm down to 1.2 GB in /.
