Seems fine. May be think of a separate home partition which could be of
5 GB size or depending on your usage.
I don't know how well you can do non destructive resizing of your
present root partition, any way you have to boot with a rescue floppy
and then resize the partition, but i don't know if its full proof.

Another method i can think of is: create a 10 GB (or whatever size you
want) partition for the root file system. Copy the existing root file
system to this new partition using 
cp -ax / /newfilesystem
Update all your grub.conf and fstab file to point / as this new
partition. Empty your old partition and use it for something else.
