Unless you have some very specific reasons to do otherwise,
using the installer's automatic partitioning option should take
care of it well. Here's a link to an overview of partitioning for

Well, you want a SWAP partition that is 2x the size of the ammount of ram you have. Then you want to creat an EXT3 file system partition. That should be good for a basic install of linux..
