    Nah, /home is on a separate disk all together.  And while putting 
/usr on the empty partition is, at the moment, probably the best I can 
do, it does seem a waste of 3.6GiB considering /usr only about 919MiB in 
size.  This machine does not have X on it, and /usr/local/src is, again, 
on a different drive.  So, /usr growing anymore is not very likely.

    I'm not to worried about having to re-do the whole machine, I just 
prefer not to.  So I may try (g)parted and see how that goes.  If it 
works, great, if it doesn't, I'll just have to rebuild the machine.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
