Not familiar with your distro but I would suggest
1. /usr appears to be too big ...its usually for system executables
and libraries and unless your installing a lot more programs
then a lot of that space could go to waste..
As a point of reference the /usr of a full install of
redhat 7.3 is about a bit over 3 gigs.
2. dont forget a couple megs of partitions for swap
3. I would leave a couple of gigs unpartitioned. as spare, you
never know when you will suddenly have to come up with
an extra /directory...
