I think Steve covered the high points.  If you plan on backing-up /home,
you might want to split off a "data" partition for both LDM data and
application logging that won't be backed-up.  Ideally, your system has
enough memory (1GB+) to keep from hitting the disk as much and I see
you have a dedicated swap disk.  Looks good...
