I'm curious what a common/average size is for desktops... My /usr, without portage files, is @ 5GB. My current / is only 83M, so even after I merge /usr into it, it will still be only @ 5GB... But, this is a server, so... For an average desktop, loaded with software (say, KDE, Libreoffice, etc), how much will /usr grow to? Or more specifically, what is a *reasonable* maximum one could expect?
