Answering the original question: I'd adjust that a bit. More /usr,
more swap partitions (you don't have to use them all, but it's a hell of
a lot easier than repartitioning later), slightly larger /tmp, and
you've got the right idea for /home. Note too that you'll need extended
partitions to fill this out.
