  • Are you talking about 1 partition for /root (operating system), one for SWAP, and one for /home?

What type of file should I make the partitions,

ext4

what size should I make them

Whatever you want but I would suggest at least 10 Gb for /, but more if you intend to use MySQL and want to use /etc for the storage of databases. Depending on how you use the system you can have no swap or 2x the size of your memory.

I myself also create a 25Gb /home partition and put the remainder on a separate partition so I can store my personal files there and can always format home.
