Update-manager works for Ubuntu, should work for Xubuntu in Feisty (there was a little issue for Edgy), and Kubuntu should get something similar too, but I don't know what or when. Herv?.

To fix this I need to make a script which finds everything, that is mounted with CIFS and then it needs to be executed every time when the system shuts down and reboots. I think that's runlevel 0 and 6, but I'm not sure how this works on Edgy, since it has a new init system. I'm also not sure what's the best way to figure out what is mounted with cifs (is mount | grep cifs | awk '{print $3}' enough?) I think this is quite a serious issue, but I'm not sure where to report a bug. Thanks for advices!

You can still create a System V type script in /etc/init.d, and create the required links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d. > I'm also not sure what's the best way to figure out what is mounted > with cifs (is mount | grep cifs | awk '{print $3}' enough?)

I just found a mildly useful command, based on the Debian popularity-contest: popcon-largest-unused Apparently my largest unused is tetex-base, however I will actually start using that at some point. It also suggests I get rid of the kernel headers (I need them to compile my WiFi if I ever need to plug that back in). I'm not sure if anyone has suggested thus, and I don't know how to go about it, but is there some way of safely removing all the old Kernels? (I know how to erase them from grubs menu but I was thinking more along the lines of actually removing the image). Any docs for this?

I use the GUI, search for linux-image, find all versions installed (like 2.6.17-10), then search for the version number. I then remove all kernel-related packages for that version, keeping only the current one. > Wasn't there going to be an application for this kind of thing at some point? There was indeed.

After you will be "clean" again, you might consider to use separate partitions for anything that is eating up your space. Doing this, you keep a workable computer, even if your space eating daemons will render their separate partition to be out of space. Imho, it usually is a good idea to have /home on a separate partition, Depending on what you do, /var (and many more) could also make sense. Btw. having you /home on a separate partition also will make any distribution reinstall or upgrade nearly trivial.
