I wouldn't usually contradict Mark Sobell, but since you are just setting up a small system for educational purposes, I would do this:
/boot (200MB) swap (512MB) / (the whole rest of the drive)
/boot doesn't need to be 200MB. It can hold a LOT of kernels/initrd images before 100MB is not enough.
[mpeters@devel ~]$ df -m |grep boot /dev/hda1 97 22 71 24% /boot [mpeters@devel ~]$
That's with six different kernels and their related stuff in there, as well as memtest86. 22MB used, 71 free.
I personally would add a /home in addition to above - so that I can do fresh installs wiping everything in / without losing my /home data.
