Hi:
The first partition dev/sda1 would be your EXT 4 /boot partition. (100 MB)
The second partition dev/sda2 would be your EXT / root partition. (20 GB)
The third partition dev/sda3 would be your /home partition which is also a EXT 4 type. (180 GB)
The fourth partition dev/sda4 would be your /swap partition. (1 to 2 GB)
You can make your partitions any size that you want within reason.
The 2 partitions that most people make larger are the /root and the /home.
Anything more that 2 GB for a swap partition is overkill.

When you partition you would partition according to the size of the drive.
I partitioned Slackware to have a 1 GB swap /dev/sda2 partition. Than I allocated the rest of the journaling file system EXT 4 / /dev/sda1.
On my Centos machine I partitioned this way:
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 1026047 512000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1026048 976773119 487873536 8e Linux LVM
I made 2 partitions basically during the installation.
Notice the star or * next to the first partition. That partition has to be made bootable.
Take your time and make one partition at a time. If you make the partition incorrectly you can always tell the partition manager (generally g-parted) to delete it (generally by right clicking on it) and create another one.
