hi ya
"placement" of the partitions is a 25 yr debate ..
do you put certain partitions in certain portions of the
disk or not ...
i like your partition scheme .. but i'd put swap away
from / ... and make swap 512MB or 1GB since you have "loads of mp3"
swap should be near /mp3 in this case
i put "required stuff" ( / /tmp /var ) in primary partitions
/usr and /home and swap and /mp3 in extended space
nice partition pic towards the bottom of the page ..
thogh good or bad partition scheme is up to the viwer's preferences
( track 0 == /dev/hda1 == most used ?? )

- the pic is a very bad layout because your heads has to span the whole
disk
/boot, /usr is outside / and /tmp is inside
