I asume he is talking about the root directory / not the directory for
root /root

This is what I have:
houghi@penne : df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdf1              11G  3.7G  6.4G  37% /
tmpfs                 506M   12K  506M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/hdf2              21G   16G  4.2G  80% /home
/dev/hdf3             121G   49G   66G  43% /media/data
/dev/hdb1              39G  5.3G   33G  14% /media/second

At least those are the partitions that are mounted. It all very much
depends on what you have on your machine. A lot that is with me on /home
should be on /media. I have no stuff installed to compile, so / will be
a bit more empty.

As long as I have enough space, I don't really look at it. A place to
start looking could be /var/log and if you have no purpose for them,
remove the gz files.

Another thing you could try is looking for installed files you never
use. Note that installed files only take up space, they don't slow your
machine down.
