Gotta set those priorities, gotta have those games. :)

It's unlikely you need /var/www, unless you're running a web server, or 
you're using the manual pages found in /var/wwww/html/manual.

Unless you're doing something with the tex stuff, you could probably 
remove it.  Do 'rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf' to find out which package 
installed this.  You can try to remove it, but you'll get some 
dependency issues.  It's likely you can remove all the related dependent 
rpms as well.  Only you will know for sure though.

Unless you're building a kernel soon, you could tar/bzip2 
/usr/src/linux* up and save some space. It'd be better if you could 
archive it somewhere, say a cd.

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...)?
