I have had success in installing a new hard drive(s) and moving stuff off the old drive to the new one, and making symbolic links to the new hard drive. Symbolic links can be a hassle, if you make symbolic links pointing back to the original harddrive, etc. This works very well for my /home, /var, /opt, and /usr directories. Of course, straight data, like mp3's, are on the second or third hard drive, along with all the backups. Just be sure to mount the appropriate partitions on boot up.
Joel PS. Yes, make backups. I backup all my stuff (except for video and audio files) every day. This has proved a life saver more than one. Have a copy of Knoppix around, too. > > > > I am running out of room on my linux installation.
