Hi,

This means, I don't need the other partitions?  Ok na yung boot,home,/ and
swap?

Thanks.

The recommended partitioning scheme for the current popular linux distros 
are almost the same ... or maybe they are all the same.

For your /boot it has to be enough to contain your distro's boot information

commonly ~100MB.
Your swap should be 2X or 3x you available RAM, say for eample you have 
256MB of RAM recommended is 512MB or above.
Now some other distros are particular about their partitioning scheme aside 
from the basics above but it'll all boil down to one which is your root 
partition / where you'll most likey alot the remaining space.

I say, read the specific distro installation instruction you'll find more 
detailed info on this.

/boot   100MB
/home  5000MB
/     14388MB
swap    512MB (2x RAM @ 256MB)
