Gentoo takes up more space than a conventional binary distro because of=20
portage and source files in /usr/portage/distfiles.
Look at eclean to help you remove old package files no longer installed.

old(er) log files.
As a matter of good practice I always fit /var/ on a different partition to=

guard against logs going overboard and running out of space.
