[gentoo-user] Cleaning up portage

I did a df –h on my system today and I only have 300 megs left on /usr

So I went into /usr/portage and ran du –sh and it shows as 1.5G

I then went into /usr/src and ran du –sh and it shows as 1.5G also

Granted this is a small box – 5 Gigs for /usr

Should I delete all the outdated sources in /usr/src to gain space and if so will is a simple rm –rf linux-2.6.outdated work?

Next, what will happen if I rm –rf /usr/portage will the next emerge sync rebuild it?

Where should I check to get some disk space back?

IIt seems most of the space that is being taken up is /usr/portage and /usr/src

Thanks.

CR.
