You don't need so much home, and you definately want more root!
give root a gig and home 300
You rarely have anything sizeable in home, its mostly non-binary text
files, like a documets folder in Mac OS.
root, on the other hand, is like your System Folder and (since you
don't have a sepeate /usr) Applications Folder.
What you seriously might want to do- keep your 70M swap, and combine
your root and home into one partition. You got a small drive, you
don't want to end up with not enough space on one partition and extra
on another.
In the future if you add a drive, you can always move /home
