[xubuntu-users] showing disk space used

[John R. Sowden]

I have tried baobab.  I don't understand the 'ring' graph and the tree 
graph option is totally beyond me.  Part of the problem is in both 
graphs, the colors or shapes are not identified, leaving me to go 
between a directory listing and the chart.  Too much use of the wrong 
cpu.  ncdu is better.  I was just hoping for something more like hog.  I 
just looked inside hog.exe and found the author's name.  I duckduckgoed 
him and found him "Jay Wherley".  I dropped him a note re: Linux.  I saw 
in his site that he wrote a newer version of it for windows.

I saw k4dirstat that someone mentioned.  The png looks good. Assuming 
that is a KDE program, when I switch from Suse to Ubuntu when Ubuntu 
first came out, I decided to not run KDE programs on Ubuntu, as there 
seem to be a lot of dependencies.  Mate looks interesting.
