Well, people are going to scream about this, but IMHO, this is always the 
most flexible way of doing it:

80% of disk for /
20% of disk for /var
A little bit for swap

Yes, almost everything on one partition. Yes, this is the most flexible, and 
yes it can cause problems, but as Sam has already said no matter what you do, 
it's always wrong....
