Checking freespace from a terminal

If you ever need to check your disk's usage, free space etc... you can execute a terminal command df. This gives you information in a very raw format. Often this is adequate to check the capacity and what's left by using the % information.

However, a better way to look a disk capacity and free space is using discuss. Discuss isn't normally included in your standard build of Ubuntu, so in order to install it fire up the following command:

sudo apt-get install discuss

Once you have done that type in discuss in a terminal window and voila!
