after I installed debian, using a non-free image (I wanted wifi out of the box), I installed the stuff I daily use: latex, opera, dropbox, skype and mathematica. By curiosity I checked how much space I was using. Lo and behold, /usr/share is using 7.4 G!! This struck me as strange, since the same installation with an official image only uses 3.7 G.
So my question, dear forum, is: why? why am I using so much space?
Below is the output of "sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /usr/share/ | sort -h" both of the free and non-free installation. For brevity, I only added the folders bigger than 10M.
