I'm not an official source, but I'd lay it out like this:
/boot 100MB swap 1024MB / everything else
The /boot partition is useful to work around problems some BIOS have with booting a kernel that's too far into the disk (past 8GB, if memory serves). 1GB of swap is generally right for 512MB of memory. Then I just partition the rest as one big / partition.
I'd agree except for the swap size. I'd just make it equal to your RAM size. UNLESS you know you are going to use a lot of memory for a certain function.
