for instance the following command will grind away and give you a human readable summary
of all the directories in /var
cd /var; du -sh `ls`
the backticks around ls will cause the command to be replaced by it's output.

I was running out of diskspace. I was sitting at 99 percent disk usage and I
removed some programs and got it down to 98 percent. I then realized that
the .deb files would be taking up space so I removed them and got it down to
85 percent. I would like to get it lower. When removing some files using
aptitude said it could delete the programs directory because it was full.
There must be a way to force aptitude to delete those unwanted directories.
I was considering using one of the my other partitions as a means of
increasing the size. The question I have is what directory uses up the most
space and could I just mount it for example /usr and would /usr use this
partiton to extend itself. I have a partition use for my home directories
and it works great. I've just noticed that's getting pretty full too. That
I just have to do some weeding.
