I'm quite interested in this discussion. De-duplication seems to be all the rage in 'corporate IT'. Surely the purpose is mainly to deal with storing many copies of the same emails (or Excel files... etc.)
I have found a great deaal of duplication in install trees, particularly when you just want to install the latest. I've managed to get some massive savings with NIM on AIX and some lesser but stll very good savings with CentOS by building parallel trees and hard linking the files.
