cleanup
Not to long ago i was using only 35% of my HD. Just recently it shot up to 54% and my diskspace is 16gb so thats more then 3gigs that have been taken.
From what i remember i failed to build mysql, i install gitolite which required me to build git from source which had a tons of dependencies (i think it was for building docs, i think i saw latex and other packages but i was drozy when i was installing). I suspect that is what is taking the diskspace.
Anyways so far i deleted source folders i know i had and ran these commands. What else can i do? (3gigs is mighty)
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge
