I am using Scientific Linux. So is there any stuff that can be safely removed from disk except /tmp?
What stuff can be safely removed for disk space sake?

One of the easiest and safest thing to do is to clear the package manager cache. You did not specify which operating system or distribution you use so I will give examples for the mainstream distributions:debian/ubuntu:apt-get cleanfedora/red hat:yum cleanopensuse:zypper cleanMost, if not all, other package managers in other distributions have a similar functionality.Another thing you can relatively easy do is delete old kernel versions. Most distributions keep the old kernels installed when installing a new kernel.Here is a guide how to remove old kernels for debian and fedora: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/proper-way-to-remove-old-linux-kernels/
