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. Also look at logrotate to help you automatically rotate, compress and delet= e=20 old(er) log files. As a matter of good practice I always fit /var/ on a different partition to= =20 guard against logs going overboard and running out of space. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1459685.jyoyZSnVFM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk9MwVMACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZDEgCbBMJSTeLVoYwM0lHlq3o7RPPo /QYAoJeIl5SCfJanKr8PVTMHH9vc4RoC =58aJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1459685.jyoyZSnVFM--
