system file space
I am trying to figure out how Ubuntu works (netbook ed). I'm more comfortable with mac os, but I would like to get Linux. I must say Gnome is helping as a shell.
The System File seems to perform all the necessary OS functions (please correct me if I am wrong), while the partitioned segment is for mass storage. It seems the System file is stuck with around 30gb of space, which has filled in the 1 and 1/2 days I've owned the netbook. {the "host" seems to be drawing all that space, as the disk usage analyzer has me believe} All with minor install for the applications and a measly 3 gb of music i transferred. I've been warned already that the System space is low. Meanwhile, I partitioned a segment of the disk for storage, added nothing to it, and it already has 6 gb in use.
I have no idea where this storage space and crucial File System space is going, nor how to expand the size {nor jettison useless programs..}
any direction is so welcomed... i dread having to use the windows 7 starter that was installed on this thing.
Thank you for your time
