When partitioning
I'd suggest a swap partition of 2 or 4G, not the default 1G.

Good point. If the SWAP is smaller than the RAM, you won't be able to use
the hibernate feature (which dumps the RAM to SWAP for a fairly[1] quick
restart right where you left off.

[1] suspend is quicker if the hardware supports it - stuff stays in RAM
on low power maintenance - but of course, the PC has to have power even
if it is nominally "off".
