Would have been best to install the software without the docs from the 
beginning.  Removing them now is going to screw with your package 
manager's head.

It's not much help, but /etc looks surprising large.

What's in /data?

You probably could clean some clutter from /home.  (I'm a good one to 
talk, my home dir is 3216992 blocks).

All I can say on the rest, is hard drives have dropped substantially in 
price... :(

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
