Simple graphical disk space monitor

If you want a simple command line program to give you a quick view of your disk space usage then try gt5

It's available on most distros.

It runs du and outputs it to a simple html file that can be viewed in a text only browser. You can walk up and down directories to see where those big files are hiding.

It also caches the usage so when you next run it you can see the increase/decrease in usage.

Although it doesn't to appear to have been updated in years, it still works.

All in all a very handy tool. Why can't the rest of life be so simple ?
