Looking for recommendations for partitioning/organizing a drive

It is a 20GB upon which I will be installing Linux and Windows XP.

Seems that I read from one of you out there that you should have a
separate partition just for your temp files.

I have heard that having a separate partition for your drivers is a
good idea.

I have read that your programs should be on a separate partition.

I like the idea of putting all one's data on a separate drive thereby
making backups somewhat easier.

All suggestions/ideas are welcome.

Regards
