Why is /dev/sda6 unused?
And I would have made /dev/sda5 larger...so that
Installed memory + swap = 4 GB (for 32-bit systems without PAE)
And larger for 32-bit systems with PAE and 64-bt systems.
This will keep Mozilla-family browsers from causing a crash by running
you out of virtual memory as quickly.
