Well, you have /home on a separate partition (I guess that's where
most of your stuff will end up), /usr on a partition (where most of
your programs will be installed) and /var is a partition also
(various stuff is there, apt's cache can grow big if you don't clean
it).
So there's not much left for / -- the stuff in /boot (your kernels)
and the /root directory, and /etc and so on.
I think you should be fine.
