partition table - too many swap partitions and how big should extended partition be?

Hi,

I have about 4 different swap partitions on my hard drive due to the 4 reinstalls I did.
So how can I find out and do the following:
- Work out what swap partition linux actually uses so I don't delete the one it needs
- Delete the unneeded swap partitions
- Resize my linux partition to get the most space possible?

Also there is a 10 gb extended space or something partition on my disk. It is 10 gb, so how big should this be? Is it required and what is it for? I thought a linux install only needed a swap partition and a linux partition for the actual install and files. (and if people then choose to have /home on another partition then that is different, but I just said all files in one partition.)

Thanks for any help,
