Good suggestions so far, here's another: re-install (unless you'd just
like to play with resizing partitions and filesystems, in which case,
have fun!)

Given a full 160GB disk for this, I'd set up a 20GB / partition most
likely more than enough for apps installed later on, a 1 - 2 GB swap
partition, and the rest as /home...

But that's just me.  I usually maintain multi-boot systems though, so
were it ME, I'd maybe re-partition that extra space into 3 20GB
partitions and use them to try out other OSs (maybe other Linux
flavors, some BSDs, etc).

Also a question for you... do you live in Carrboro/Chapel Hill??  Your
name sounds familiar... didn't I pick up a toaster from you a few
years ago (you were pretty young) on freecycle or craigslist?

Cheers,
