If you're gonna be installing Breezy on laptop, or on machine where
you'll be only user, or the number of active users won't go over integer
of 3, it's wise to have just one partition on disk. It's much easier to
cope with free space that way. Of course, you have to be carefull not to
fill the disk up to it's limit.

I found that having seperate partitions for /var, /home, /, is just a
drag. Because, you soon run out of space on, for instance, /var, and you
have more than 20 gigs free on /home. How to switch that space to var
when needed?
