It's a server, so your not running X locally right? Maybe you can remove
it?... du /var/log and see if your logs seem excessively large, perhaps your
logging too much and keeping it too long? Finally, you could move some of
your data to another machine and mount it back into the server filesystem
with NFS. I use this technique with a webserver I'm running on a very small
drive, the static data is mounted via NFS on a file server and the database
is on yet another server... all the web server does is cache and host the
site.
Just a few ideas, good luck
Joe
