It depends on the install, generally I will devote around 30% of drive to / and the remainder to /home.

If using a SSD I will deliberatly leave about 5% of the drive unpartitioned.

I don't generally use a swap partition.

Last night I installed Debian on a neoware m100 where I had to partition the existing 512MB internal DOM as /boot and a 32GB Industrial CF card as / (no swap)

More on that install laters
