If it were me, I would go with a single linux partition and a single partitition for swap and let the distribution's setup procedures guide you along the path of setting up your basic file systems. With that much memory, I wouldn't think you would need any more than 512 meg of swap but that's just my own view. a whole gig for swap seems awful high to me.
