is there a command that will tell me how much hard drive space ive used and how much i have left?
i tried "du" but it just listed files and their size and that isnt really what i want

kdf is a gui app if you're a kde user, it's under configuration->kde->information in the menu.

You can use du with options.

du -Hs /etc

Which would give you the total space of /etc.

H for human readable (in mega/kilobytes)
s for summary

man du will tell you all the options
