I've always accepted the wisdom that a pre-installation set-up with 2 partitions - one /, and the other /home, together with a swap drive approximately twice the size of installed RAM was the optimum (oh, and another partition formatted FAT32 to share files with a Windows installation) -and that's how I've installed Ultimate Edition.
I've seen lots of advice however which says only a /partition is needed. What are the thoughts of our experts please?

In truth a stand alone home folder helps make reinstalls easier. But by no means required.
Swap, I find 2 to 3 gb is more then enough.
Other then that, your understanding is flawless.
I use NTFS for shared files between the 2 my self.
