Xubuntu Disk Partitioning

The are two vital partitions :

RootPartition aka "/" remaining space
SwapPartition aka "swap" (2xRAM)

The BootDirectory is sometimes part of / and sometimes in its own partition.
Although in theory it can be tiny I like to make it 100M to have space for multiple vmlinux kernel images, system-maps & initrd.img's

BootPartition aka "/boot" ~100M

For example I have three different linux kernels on my system and they are using 46M of disk space.
