If you have plenty of RAM: 1, as a swap partition is rarely used by Linux on systems with more than 2 or 3 GiB of RAM available, and all the toplevels of the Linux directory structure can be put on the same partition. A swap partition on a system with plenty of RAM is a waste of hard disk space.
If you're strapped for memory, 2, to allow for the swap partition, so that Linux can extend its memory onto the hard disk so you won't run out. A good rule of thumb is to create a swap partition at LEAST 1.5 times larger than your system RAM. For example, if you have 512 MiB of RAM: a 768 MiB MINIMUM swap partition is advised. If you have lots of hard disk space, an ideal consideration is actually to triple your RAM in swap space: 512 MiB of RAM will be supported by a 1.5 GiB swap partition.
Personally, if you have lots of hard disk space, I recommend at least 3: One for /, one for /home, and one for swap, if needed, otherwise it'll be for /boot.

How can you Install Linux in my Windows 7 platform?
Most Linux distros will by default install themselves secondary to Windows, BUT you MUST FIRST make a separate partition on your HD for Linux to install on, for the install erases everything that is already on that partition. How to do that is found in your Windows Help. If that's a problem for you, many Linux distros can be run from a CD or DVD, without installation to the HD, so you can try them out to get the feel of them. Knoppix is one such distro. If you want something as like to Windows as possible, try Lubuntu or its parent Ubuntu. But be aware that Linux is NOT a free windows. If you are a command line junkie like myself, I recommend Slackware. If you are into designing and building your own OS based on the Linux kernel, try Arch. In short, the various Linux distros (or flavors) are all different to one another, each having their own design philosophy. Deciding which one you want will be your major problem. Google 'linux reviews'.
