Parsha, just remember that you can only have 4 *primary* partitions.
This means that one primary partition will need to actually be an
extended partition inside which you make logical partitions. Ubuntu will
take care of the extended partition creation if you tell it that the
partition you want to make is a logical. I would suggest 2 or 3
*logical* partitions such as the following scheme:

/ on a logical
/home on a logical
swap on a logical
