Well, to throw Yet Another Useful Command at you, running 'df -h' will show 
you your mounted partitions and how much space they're using.  My RaQ3's 
/var partition is 194MB, with 17MB used (mostly system logs and the 
/var/lib directory).  I'd recommend trying to keep it half free (or half 
used...), as filling up /var can lead to your syslog daemon gagging, which 
means your logging stops.

I don't have anything in my /var/cache directory; do you run a proxy server?
