Make it simple for yourself. If you are at all unsure when you install,
just take guided partitioning.
That should set up a 512M partition for boot, a 1G partition for swap
and the rest of the disk for /
Unless you *really have* to partition things yourself, putting everything
in one partition will normally work. Once you've done this a few times
and know what you want, then you can partition separate space for /var
or whatever.
GPT and UEFI is the way forward on machines that support them.
