just take the defaults. Pesonally I wouldn't mess with partitions unless 
I had a bigger harddrive. The defaults will use the entire drive, it 
will use the ext4 file system (LVM) and you'll be good to go.

One note. some have experienced wifi network problems unless you use the 
live session to install from. Then it is reported to be completely 
successful. Ric
