I wouldn't bet my hand on it, but I'm pretty sure your whole HD has been
partitionned with ext2 file systems.
The 33% you see are no doubt the used space on those partitions. That
means that you still have 66% of your drive to add parsonnal datas or
programs.
To be absolutely sure, you could post the output of the 'df -h' and 'cat
/proc/partitions' commands.
