You read my last post about deborphan and debfoster and now wondering about other ways to recover more space, right?
Well my friends, you are in the right place.
After discovering the amazing capabilities of those two tools, I kept looking for something more and got localepurge.
Ever got annoyed to see those localized man pages we usually find in /use/share/doc that you never read? It's time to get rid of those.
#apt-get install localepurge
This will install localepurge in your system and prompt you to select the locale (preferably en_us and/or your own locale) for the man pages you want to keep in your system. After that, localepurge will automatically search the whole system for localized man pages and delete those.
In my case I was able to recover and huge 332 MB in the first run (Your mileage may vary). Sweet, huh!
Another sweet thing is, localepurge will automatically remove localized man pages when you install new packages in your system.

Hiya,Zaher...its me Atunu. I was just dropping in to see what kind of tech rants you have in your blog and god damn that is a lot of arcane nerd-stuff...I like it. Most of your shell commands are far beyond my recoknening, I guess there is a master in every sect..and this time I'm surely the apprentice.
Au revoir..hope to see a visit from you in my blog soon. Don't worry, my blog is far less truncated with UNIX chatter..instead, my posts are mostly descriptive according to the native contents.
