I've been thinking about an alternative. What exactly does KDE stand =
for?
(I hate doing web searches that return thousands of unrelated sites...)

Oh, and is it free?

df   (short for disk-free) shows used/free (k) and percentage remaining.
df -m shows it in megs

For browser/explorer/desktop (better than Microsoft!) try KDE. It's =
completely
integrated with the web - you can browse local directories, click on =
folders,
connect to the web or an ftp server, and things look just like they do =
on your
local computer (just a little slower). You can even edit and save files =
over
the web (if you have permission and passwords to do so). Also drag and =
drop
files from websites onto your desktop (or the other way around, if =
allowed).
That's what I used to make the desktop jpeg on the website (the one with =
the
circuit board backdrop)

Netscape is also available, but it's big, slow, and buggy.
