Hmm, my / is 290MB, though /tmp, /var, /boot, and /usr are all separate
partitions.
290MB isn't that bad, but there's little room for errors like the recent
bloated kernel packages (now fixed), and the way Gnome used to put tons
of silly crap in /etc (now fixed as well).
Maybe 5-600MB on a separate-partition system would be a good size, not
insane, but some breathing room...
[My _previous_ box had only 150MB in /, and that was too little, I
couldn't even use pre-packaged debian kernels because they're too
bloated with lots of drivers.]
