BIND, Apache, various mailing programs, at, Xauth, logs if you want to |
| 15 |
know what happened on a particular computer six months from now (hard |
| 16 |
to foresee this kind of thing). I think you can clear out /var/tmp if |
| 17 |
you wish. Also many of the logs can be cleared and such. After |
| 18 |
clearing all the data you don't need (be careful; some data is |
| 19 |
important to portage), you shouldn't have too much more than a few |
| 20 |
hundred megs, pretty much all highly compressable text. |
