Ext2 is now very depreciated, replaced with Ext3 or Reiser. Ext2 is now really only used in embedded systems.
As for a swap partition, its now no longer as vital as it once was so long as your on an up to date system. Depending on your system the swap should be equal to, to twice the size of your RAM.
