What you can do is you can use 'resize2fs' on one of your bigger
filesystems to make them smaller. Once you've done that you can edit the
partition table to make the partition as small as your filesystem now
is. That would give you free space that you could use for another
distribution.
Looking at your mount table that would give you approximately 2GB. Not
sure, if that's enough.
However, I highly recommend searching for howtos covering the usage of
resize2fs as with the partition editing it is quite easy to blow up your
system. For the same reason you should have a backup of *all*
filesystems on the edited disk.
BTW: ext3 = ext2 + journal-file (that's why you can use ext2 tools on
ext3)
BTW2: I believe to remember there is even a better graphical tool to do
the resizing.
