And how EXACTLY do you want me to answer the original question? Be specific, 
"You should have done <blash>" responses don't help anyone. The question only 
has vague guidelines for answers and is totally install- and need-dependant.

Do keep in mind that the original is a "do my homework for me" question and my 
reply was designed to get the OP to look for himself. He didn't even post how 
big his current /var is or what his machine is used for or even which logs 
he'd like to have and keep.
