Windows dont do all the things that formatting and error checking with

That looks like an ok setup, you do want to have some space in / because
it is holding /home, and you might want to keep things in your homedir.
2 Gig for /tmp is alot, but hey you can dump alot more there now, and use
it for what it was meant for :)

Just think of what you plan on doing with it, is it going to be a server?
or is it going to be a workstation. for workstations you want more space
in /home for all the stuff you pump into there over time :) But all in
all you should have enough space to last you for a while. (Untill you
fill the drive with mp3's)
