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).
