[Ubuntu-eg] how can i find duplicate files, folders ?

[Mohammad AbuShady]

Dear ahmed kamal,
Though I wasn't the one who asked you this question in the first place but
I would like to thank you because I learned today 2 new linux commands,
(tee, uniq) I already knew the md5 sum method for comparing but the way you
handled it is smart, thanks for that.
