i just got tired of having to mess around with all these little 
partitions i would end up having when i setup multiple partitions on 
ubuntu, so i just assigned 108gig for ubuntu and 2 gig for swap and 
called it good :)


but for optimal performance, i recommend atleast 10 gig for ubuntu (and 
what other programs you may install) and 2 gig for swap
