partition confusion

I hope you don't mind giving me some advise on my partitioning set up since I am going to install cpanel whm. I have been searching for partitioning set up and have found the cpanel tips website. BUT, I am left puzzled why as setting up my partitioning in red hat 9 text mode, I was given this partitioning setup. Will you kindly be glad to offer assistance?

Device Start End Size Type Mount point

/dev/hda1 1 13 101m ext3 /boot
/dev/hda2 14 274 2047m swap
/dev/hda3 275 14437 111097m ext3 /home
/dev/hda4 14438 19929 43080m Extended
..../dev/hda5 14438 16987 20002m ext3 /var
..../dev/hda6 16988 19537 20002m ext3 /usr
..../dev/hda7 19538 19798 2047m ext3 /
..../dev/hda8 19799 19929 1027m ext3 /tmp


This is for a 120GB Hard drive

I appreciate hearing from you,
Vince

I did get some advise to set up a 120gb hd as:
/ 2048
/boot 100M
/usr 8192M
/var 8192M
/tmp 1024M
swap (x2 RAM, Max 2048M)
/home fill to disk

I tried to set up partioning in order as listed and recieved the result above...partition confusion
