I've read all the other followups but nobody posted my idea. One thing
to look for when /usr is filling up is an installation of rpms that
you're not using. I occasionally run a report sorted by rpm sizes and
decide if I need that package installed or not.
A good example is OpenOffice. It's huge (about the size of MS Office
actually), and if you've installed it on a server and aren't using it,
you can get a lot of space back.
