Swap - 512MB (approx)

ext2 - / - 4068 - 10240MB (approx depending on your requirement)

ext3 - /home (Your wish)


Some Comments:
Swap is like temporary memory like the page file in windows it used for implementation of virtual memory technique i think so.....

/ is the root directory which holds everything.....

/home is where your user profile would be created it's like the Storage of program files and whatever u download or create is held here... it has been separated out from the root so that while u partition the drive for a new installation u don't loose the program configurations or your downloaded files........ there is no other specific reason for the /home to be separated out from the root

Proverbs 19

2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor to be hasty and miss the way.

8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
he who cherishes understanding prospers.

11 A man's wisdom gives him patience;
it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

20 Listen to advice and accept instruction,
and in the end you will be wise.

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life:
Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
