    Creating partitions

    I want to install Ubuntu on my pc but I want to setup the partitions. The partitions that I want are:
    /home, /boot, /swap, /tmp
    Please suggest me a size for these partitions on my 360GB HDD, because for example last time I created them, I created a small SWAP partition and my system was not that fast, and I don't want to make the same error again.

    Thanks

    Generally, those are NOT separate partitions. Logical drives in Linux are not at all the same as the system folders. Generally, if you take the recommended sizes, or make the swap partitions a little larger than recommended, you'll be fine.

    If you want to go nuts, you could do 10-20GB for swap, and the rest the main partition.

    It's been a while, there may be a boot partition as well. The installer will usually guide you through this.
