Graphical filesystem representations

[Kyle Schneider <kwschnei@xxxxxxx>]

Tonight at the meeting, we did a little bit of talking about how to tell 
what is taking up room on your file system, and a couple of graphical 
interfaces were brought up.  I mentioned filelight, and you can find an 
arstechnica article about it here:

Be forewarned though, it does require some KDE libraries, so be prepared 
to get those if you need them.

Christian brought up an app called JDiskReport, whose website is here:

From the few minutes I looked over the site, it appears that this 
program makes a bit of information more accessible than filelight does, 
such as largest files, last modified files and a few other things.  
Also, as a bonus, it just uses java, so you don't have to mess around 
with all of the KDE libs (saves a lot of hard drive space and 
downloading time).
