The reason people create boot partition is that it will remain forever and can add new OSs entries to the boot loader manually. You should get your hands dirty when you change your OS... As you said, you are going to stick into a single operating system, I dont think /boot partition is necessary. swap --> AFAIK people create separate swap partition for security purpose, so that they can encrypt the partition and save themselves while hibernation.

Re: [ubuntu-in] [Ubuntu-in] Linux Partition
Hi, When you install Ubuntu and select automatic partitions during installation, it creates two partitions - swap and / partition. Swap is usually double the size of RAM in your Computer. The remaining space is formatted as EXT4 Filesystem and is mounted at / partition which contains all the folders mentioned below. Another way I prefer is do a manual partition during instillation time. I manually make a swap partition (double the size of system RAM), / partition (About 20 GB which will install all the System/Program Files) and a separate /home partition. A separate home folder partition ensures that my home folder is not affected in case if anything happens to my my System partition (/). Also I'm able to reinstall/upgrade a different version keeping my home partition intact in the future.

But, for a desktop machine nowadays, I see no real reason to have a separate partition for /boot. I would say go with swap / /home The last one lets you upgrade/switch distributions without affecting user data.

Irrespective of single-boot or dual-boot setup I suggest you have a single root partition and a swap. My personal experience with different partitions is that you eventually run out of space on at least one of them. Still if you want to do separate partition then you should keep min 100MB for /boot, min 5GB for /root and rest for /home.

[ubuntu-in] [Ubuntu-in] Linux Partition
*Dear Friends* I have seen many kind of partition for linux. but i do not know that which one is the best. This is one example: /boot swap /root /home But if i want ONLY install the Linux-Ubuntu on the h.D.D, 1) what is the best choice for the making the partition? 2) and how much space MIN require for the / Boot & /root? because before i'm using the Linux & XP in the office, but from today i want just have the linux, and need the proper partition which can work for long times without any problem..
