if you have a NAS available you could "dd" the the hdd to .img and free up
the space. Personally I would pull it, resources permitting, and replace
with a another hdd, say 7200 or 10k rpm to buy some speed. Not sure if
your system will support a ssd but might be worth a look. Then again,
depending on use, there is the consideration of diminishing return of value
for so old a system when a newer system can be obtained for <US$300 or so;
leaving this in the "I love the challenge" category.
