Thanks for the replies, i got the follwing output for "df -h":

Code:
[root@xserver]:[root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             8.1G  1.1G  6.7G  14% /
/dev/root.old         2.2M  235K  2.0M  11% /initrd
There's one thing I wonder about, why's there a difference between used+
avail. compared to disksize? Is this because of the fs?

So I see i got plenty of space left on my hdd.. just a commom mistake..

I am stripping the GUIs because I want a slim machine and get
some knowledge about linux in general, also the mentioned system
(p133, 94mb ram, 512kb vga) would be to slow for the big one
like gnome and kde and so I decided to be a little more drastic.

@dave_bechtel
;p - not really, I didn't connect my windows machine to the linux
over samba just to check the filesize, it already was connected
so because the linux box acts as router/gateway for my win2k pc.
