Install deborphan and run it every once in a while. Every few months it probably doesn't hurt to have it scrap the keeper file. This will trim the fat among debian packages. On my system at least, /usr/src occasionally bloats to ungodly proportions if I've been doing a lot of stuff by hand. /usr/local/ will get up there, too, if you install commercial software (like games from id Software or Loki Linux Entertainment[1]). If /var/log is building up larger than you are comfortable with, check out the logrotate documentation to automate trimming things down a bit more. [1] They're long-gone but someone is keeping the domain live and the servers running. http://www.lokigames.com/ has thier old website frozen in time and ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/ has the Linux binaries for many games. Might want to check with them if you've got a game published by someone other than id that's more than about 15 months old as of the time of this writing and see if it's there. If it is, download the appropriate version and buy the Windows version; be sure to tell the publisher you're purchasing it to run on Linux when you send in the registration card to help them gauge demand. -- .''`.
