Like an earlier poster, I am a FreeBSD newbie in the process of migrating my home server away from Linux. It's been an interesting experience, sometimes frustrating, but I think I'm gradually figuring it out :) Certainly, I'm *way* happier with the "state" of the server in that it seems to perform better and feels much cleaner (at least in terms of the amount of stuff installed). Before I get too locked in to my current installation, I'd like to know how much space people typically allocate for the /usr partition. I gave it 2Gb but, after using Cvsup to sync ports-all and sys-all, building a new kernel plus XFree86-4 and KDE2, I noticed that I was using nearly 1Gb of the partition. I did "make clean" in /usr/ports but I'm still looking at 800Mb. Around 180Mb of this is for .tgz files in /usr/ports/distfiles that could, at a pinch, be deleted. However, given that I have a 30Gb disk, with most allocated to /home, should I just do a re-install and allocate more space to /usr ? Thanks in advance, Hervey.
