A usage of 213M on / is not bad at all.. and you already have /var and /tmp as separate file systems.

Note: something odd here: / and /tmp is listed twice!?

To see where space is being used, try this:

   du -x -m / | sort -nr | head -25

This should list the biggest directories first and give you an idea of
where space is being used.  But since you do not have a separate
/home, I guess that this may account for some things...
