From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do you manage this though?
I take advantage of the free disk space savings and don't worry about disk space much. I'll clear out my download directory and maybe some caches when my disk usage grows beyond 80% (as reported in GUI tools). Running
duperemoveacross my drive every now and then also tends to help a lot without deleting anything.If I do run out of space, there are a few interactive terminal tools that'll point out the biggest files so I can delete them and save some space in a pinch. I practice, I just don't really think about it much.
Thanks.
