Graphical Disk Usage Analysis Using KDE/Gnome

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us
After some time, some of us maybe have an out of space issue. Downloads, backup files, data files, trashes, etc. And all we know is that our disk usage is 97% used. How do we Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usknow, which directory consume the most of it, what file in which directory, etc. Fear not! if you use Gnome, all you have to do is install Baobab application and have it analyze your disk. Or, if you use KDE, just install konq-plugins, a plugin collection for Konqueror. And activate File Size Mode in View Mode in your konqueror window. If you ask me which is better, I would prefer Konqueror plugin, because it's break down the result to it's file while Baobab only display directory size.
