[DC LoCo] some info from my terminal in ubuntu

[flint at flint.com]

Dear Phil,

What has happened on your computer is that the root filesystem (/) is out 
of space.

1. Go in to /tmp as root and type "rm -rf *" be CAREFUL as this is a very 
destructive command.  This will give you some breathing room

2. Kill all the zip files in /var/log

3. Look up how to symlink directories (man ln)

4. use gparted to make root bigger

5. Give up GUIs and only use the command line

6. Program with toggle switches

7. Limit your tools to stone knives and bear-skins

8. Move to Vermont and freeze to death...

These casual suggestions are just my attempt to be helpful.  Your mileage 
may vary.  Bitterness and/or sarcasm in any of these steps, particularly 
the later, is entirely intentional.

Regards,

Flint
