/dev/hdb5              1007960     61404    895352   7% /home

What should I do?

Try clearing old stuff out of /tmp and /var/log. Clean up your yum cache ("yum clean all"). As for the rest, do some selective "du -h" operations in various directories under "/", see what's sucking up the space and clean out that which seems appropriate.

Just another reason it's really a bad idea to have a monolithic "/"
filesystem.
