First off welcome to the list.  Second, Linux is L i n u x just so you
know.  What I would recommend is a partition setup like this.

/dev/hda1 swap size 128 meg
/dev/hda2 linux size 3 gig
/dev/hda3 linux size *remainder of hard drive*

Then use /dev/hda1 for your linux swap, /dev/hda1 for your root /
partition where all your os will go on and finally /dev/hda3 as your
/home partition.  Everyone will have their own personal preferences such
as mounting /usr/local on it's own partition or /var on it's own but
this is up to you.  Still others might just put everything on 1 huge
partition.  Just make sure you have a swap.
