Last time I looked, we were talking about port deletions. At a glance, it looks like you have about 35Gb -- the df output says that those are 1kb blocks. It also looks like /usr/local is not a separate mountpoint, so both the base system software in /usr and the third-party software in /usr/local are counting towards the roughly 23Gb used in /usr. (But why ask us? Just run du(1) or something, and find out.) I have older hardware, so I use the CLI as much as I can, and favor lightweight programs, only using a few components of Gnome. If you feel overburdened, consider dropping one of the desktops, or using a lightweight alternative like Xfce. Or do like I do and just use a lightweight windows manager, not a full desktop, and cherrypick a few pieces of software from the full desktops. This person was giving you a computer for free, and you somehow managed to get them to install new, extra drives before they handed it over?! Tell them I need one, too. b.
