Impressive. Have you run /# apt-get clean/? That should free up lots of space.

I limited / (incluing /var) and /home to 18GB each. Then I created /data and mounted the remainder of hda (specifically, hda4) as /data/01. Other disks I've purchased have then been mounted as /data/02 and /data/03.

That's where I put music and video files.

Of course, your circumstances may vary.
