re-installing Debian

I guess it depends on what you mean by free space.
I partitioned the entire 27 gig when I installed, and left no space 
unformatted.
It seems that the last time I looked at my drive with:
df /dev/hda1
it reads that I have either used or have 46% there to use.
Either way, I am sure that more than 4% is used by the system files, so I 
think I have enough room to make a partition if that is possible.

Possible, yes.

Advisable? Maybe. Maybe not.

If you have free space, or an existing partition you aren't using and
don't need any longer, then absolutely. Do it. If you have to resize, I
would be leary.
