I usually use du and find, or the like, for this porpouse, but |
| 15 |
recently stumbled upon the sys-apps/baobab (also known as gnome disk |
| 16 |
usage tool) tool which does a nice job at locating those large files, |
| 17 |
and giving you a nice graph of usage of diretories, pretty useful in |
| 18 |
my opinion, and I don't think you need to install the entire gnome to |
| 19 |
use it. give it a look for me it changed the way I do this particular |
| 20 |
task. |
