Thanks for all your help, everyone. [1]  Since I sent this, the thought
struck me:
"Holy spumoni, Batman!" I said to myself, very quietly so as not to alarm
the rest of my algorithms class.  "It's not a SPACE problem, it's a
PARTITION problem!  Back when I was setting up the box in the first place,
it was a RH/Debian dual boot!"  Since I'm now using Debian exclusively,
I'm trying to delete /redhat/* and use that partition for /home , a
brilliant idea somewhat hampered by mv's reluctance to move directories
across filesystems.  I'll think of something eventually. [2]
But thanks for all the help!

[1] Except Micah.  :)
[2] Can I use fdisk to merge two partitions while I'm using one of them,
or would that be a Bad Idea?
