One small word of caution - some filesystem cleanup utilities
evaluate "unused" files by atime. RedHat and AIX both do, although both
by default limit cleanup to /tmp, /var/tmp, man-page cache directories,

noatime, you'll notice in about 30 days. :)

*That* is great advice for a CF. Most people miss that.
