I have a 20Gb drive that I run Linux on.  Is there a performance reason to
carve the disk up into
/
/home
/usr
/var
/tmp
/...

Is it acceptable to have just a swap partition and a "/" partition?

And on the subject of swap space, is the general rule to create a swap space
1.5 times the amount of RAM in the machine?
