Need Help With Simple Partitioning Scheme

[The Engineer]

Hi.

I used to use Redhat 6.2 several years ago and had a simple partition scheme on my 2nd HDD (40GB):

/dev/hdb1 /boot (100MB)
/dev/hdb2 Extended
/dev/hdb5 Swap (1GB) 
/dev/hdb6 / (6GB)
/dev/hdb7 FAT32 partition (27GB)

(There is unallocated space still available on the HDD)


I want to try FC4 and am a bit confused about the order of the partitions. 
I have 384MB of RAM, a PIII 866MHz processor, and two HDDs, with /dev/hda full up Window ME and several FAT32 partitons and want /dev/hdb with the above partitions and a /home partition as well.


Is the following partition scheme in the correct order ?


/dev/hdb1 /boot (100MB)
/dev/hdb2 Extended
/dev/hdb5 Swap (1GB) 
/dev/hdb6 / (6GB) 
/dev/hdb7 /home (2GB)
/dev/hdb8 FAT32 partition (27GB)


Should I swap around the / and /home partitions at all ?
Does the Swap partition need to be the first partition (/dev/hdb1) ?

Note: The FAT32 partition (/dev/hdb8) has to stay in its place.

I would appreciate any help or alternative schemes to the above.

Thanks,

Jules
