Sounds reasonable big to me. Yust wait and see, but I really doubt there
will be need for more than 200M of /tmp or /var on such a machine.
/ is probably even too big. In case you install a lot of stuff to /opt
later and run out of space on /, just move the /opt to /home/opt and make
a symlink /home/opt -> /opt
:~>2) Should I make a /usr/local or /opt partition for software added later?
not really. Link to /home/opt is more than adequate. Having
/home /usr/local and /opt on separate partitions (just /home partitions +
links /opt -> /home/opt && /usr/local /home/local is OK) than / and /usr
gives you nice possibility to wipe up the system later, withouth using the
add-ons you made. Since that can be done at any time, there is no need to
change anything in your setup now

df
also try "man du", can be usefull sometimes. Like "du -s /usr/local" or
du -s /home/*.
