100 MiB is probably more than enough for the next few decades, but you
probably have some old, unused kernels that still occupy /boot.
As a rule of thumb I only keep the current kernel and the previous kernel.
You can clean up old kernels by running synaptic and looking for
"linux-image". If you don't know what your current kernel version is: open
a terminal window and type 'uname -a'.

I usually do ls /boot, see all the kernels in there
(vmlinuz-2.6.xx-yy-generic), then sudo apt-get remove
linux-image-2.6.xx-yy-generic for all but the last two.

(After checking with uname -r that I'm currently running one of the last
two kernels, since I tend to postpone reboots.)
