Since it might help you to see the actual sizes of the directories in a
system where work has been going on for a while (actually, a couple of
months since last reinstall)...

This means that what I'm actually *using* of the 100 Mb / partition I
have is around 28-29 Mb so far, give or take a Mb or two. My /var
partition is at 40 Mb now, but I think it's pretty empty with only 4 Mb
on it. Oh, of course I rotate my logs on a weekly base, but even if I
raise the period to a month or so, I think it's going to be fine.
Ciao.
