120GB Hard Disk, Debian and Partition Suggestions



I just purchased a 120GB Hard Disk to use with debian. Most of the HOWTO's I have read at Linux Documentation Project deal with small (~2GB) disks. What are the general recommendations for large hard disk and Debian workstations? Most of my software is installed via apt-get. Does partitioning order matter? Should I keep /usr and /home next to each other so that I can later resize with gnuparted? My current setup with a 40GB drive are as follows:

charlene:/home/nick# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda5 on /tmp type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda4 on /home type ext3 (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
charlene:/home/nick#
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
