No, this seems just about right for me. At least for a desktop. /usr carriers all software installed by the package manager that is *not* required for booting. I.e. it usually contains a lot more as stored in sub directories of / directly. And when /var isn´t that large the proportions you noted do not surprise me a bit. Look at merkaba:~> LANG=C du -schx /usr /var 8.9G /usr 1.8G /var 11G total merkaba:~> LANG=C du -schx / 11G / 11G total My / basically consists of /usr and /var. The other stuff is negligible. As for saving space, have a look at: - debfoster - deborphan - aptitude in interactive mode under "obsolete / local" packages - du -sch /usr/local/* | egrep "[0-9](M|G)" | sort -rh and the other suggestions given.
