How to keep your Ubuntu clean.

Submitted by matze on Thu, 2009-03-19 22:45
  1. Update you package sources an install all upgrades.
  2. Remove old linux-headers and linux-modules packages. You only need the ones for the linux-image(s) currently installed.
  3. Purge old configs. Usually you won't need configurations from removed packages, but Ubuntu keeps them by default. Run aptitude in the command line and press the "_" key on the "Not installed packages" item. Then continue with "g", assure that you really won't need the configs of the packages to purge anymore and confirm with "g" again.
  4. Check your caches. The Sun JVM has an oversized cache by default. You are free to minimize it in the JVM control panel. More cache files can be probably found in the hidden ~/.local/share/ directory. Configure your Flash player the way you like it: www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html#117118
