For a personal install on a laptop with limited space I tend to use the following
/
/boot
Keeping it simple you see.
Depending on how much RAM is available of course. With my usage I never seemed to use the swap, so I reclaimed some GB No problems to report in the last few years.
The only thing I tend to def stick with is a large /home and a 1GB fat32 partition for cross platform compatability.
Large home is important for multi-user systems in particular. Can be too for your own files so you don't lose them. But I rarely seem to reinstall, so I wouldn't benefit much from giving that it's own partition, aside from calculating it incorrectly and running out (keep it simple!)
It's good to put /var on it's own also. So log files gone crazy don't cause other problems in the system ... a full disk will stop programs from writing a pid file from example, so they won't start But that's more for servers. And there's a lot of configurations you can use depending on your situation.
And also, FAT32. Hmmm. I use it on 'pen' drives and the like only because I might be plugging it into someone elses computer with a Windows, but otherwise it's ext2. You can get an ext2 driver for windows right here. ext2 > FAT32. Larger single file size for one. But if FAT32 is okay for your circumstances, no point in changing. Keep it simple!
Hmm...theres something a little peculiar here. Oh i see what it is! the sentence is talking about itself! do you see that? what do you mean? sentences can\'t talk! No, but they REFER to things, and this one refers directly-unambigeously-unmistakably-to the very sentence which it is!
