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.
