What's the context?  That is, how will the machine be used?

For example, at ByteWorks[1], we refurbish machines for home use.  For 
that audience we create one large partition.  Even swap is a swapfile 
and not a swap partition.  This greatly simplifies cloning the drive, 
shrinking/expanding the filesystem, and using the drive.
