:/usr/local of 1,5 gb (to install quake data, staroffice, etc)
:/tmp of 150 mb
:/var 250 mb (/var/cache/apt/archives will go in another place, as

:/home of 1 gb (I'm the only user in the system)

The partitions seem fairly anorexic to me. Consider that you'll be
keeping this disk for a while and software keeps getting bigger. My
opinion:
/ 500M
/usr 5G
/usr/local 3G
/var 1.5G (keep cahe/apt/archives there too)
/tmp 500M
/home 7G (why mess with /misc too if you're the only user)
swap 256M - 500M (why skimp, you can always pull back this
space if you need it)
Leave the rest for when you run out of space in one of the other
partitions and need to split off a subdirectory :)
