Personally I like http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/ which is a Java based tool for scanning your drive and produces some useful stats also such as age.

if you are running KDE 3.5 on the box, you could try the view mode, 'File Size View' of Konqueror, which does the same thing kiggs suggests, but visually.

If you run KDE on another machine, you might be able to still navigate to your server using an address in the address bar like:

fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/var

that will allow you to browse the remote disk using an ssh tunnel. Very very comfy!

Run the command "du -sh /var/* "

This will give you the size of all folders under the /var/ partition
and then just keep descending into suspect folders and running the
command "du -sh * " and you will soon find all the big folders and
from there which ones you can delete contents in

Hello,
I was wondering. If I needed to free up some disk space on a SuSE
10.1 box. Apart from the usual areas to clean up like the logs and
the tmp folder. Where else could I look to empty unnecessary files?
