OK, you asked for it...

I would save 500-750MB for later experimentation with other setups (for
exaple, debian potato).  You don't need to make a partition with this
space right now, just set some space apart for later.  You could
probably take that space from /home and /usr.  I would also mount the
root partition in hda1 and all the others as logical partitions (hda5,
hda6,...) within an extended partition (hda2).
