Full root issue
I have seem some posts regarding the full root issue. How can I check the state of my root and how do I avoid running into the issue?

My system is at 19%.
52% isn't great, and suggests you've installed some apps that are using OS partition space. However, it isn't dangerously full, so I don't see immediate concerns.

I have netstat NT running. I also have Logitech Media Server and ReadyNas Surveillance installed but they are not running.

Normally apps are installed to the data volume, which is mounted as /apps in the OS partition. I'm guessing that some of your apps aren't installed that way, and that explains the 52%.
One trick that often works is to move app folders that are in the OS partition to the data partition, and then replace the original folder with a soft link.
But as I said, 52% isn't dangerously full, just at a level where you should monitor it. My pro (running 4.2.x firmware) is at 48%, due to the way I installed crashplan. I could reduce it, but it is stable so I just keep an eye on it.
