Your partitioning scheme, with 3/4 root, 1/4 home, and the rest swap sounds
good to me. You definitly want /home on it's own partition, so that if you
ever need to reinstall or upgrade, you can just format the root parititon,
but keep all your /home files safe.

Hmmm, well, having
the swap file should never be more than 128meg in size...actually
