Hard Drive clean up

[Cyber Source]

defragmenting is not necessary on ext2(3) file system because the file 
system sets aside 8 contiguous blocks at the end of the file in 
anticipation of the file's growth, pretty neat trick that keeps the 
fragmentation to an average of 2 to 5%.
as for hdd usage, i like the command line with "df -lh", that pretty 
much says it all. If you installed the kde desktop on your Fedora box 
too, look in the menu or type "kdf" at a command prompt, theres tons 
other too but none come to mind right now.
