Disk Cleanup

[Carnal Ortega]

I'm not sure of any documentation short of the FHS ( 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ) but that just gives you a general idea on 
what goes where not what can be removed. I usually run a du -h 
--max-depth=1 / as root or a find / -size +200000 -exec ls -lh {} \; to 
get a general idea of any spots on the system I can look into that are 
hogging considerable amounts of space.
