That depends on the size of the drive.
I make a / partition, a swap that is twice the size of RAM - on this box,
4 GB, and the rest is just assigned to home.
That way the drive size is the only limiting factor.
If you find, in time, that you are running out of drive space, instaal a
bigger drive, install the / and swap and again, allocate the rest as /home
and copy it over.
By that time, this would be a good project for the not-so-newbie.
